Lets hear it!  My first beetle was a 65 baja when i was 11 it had wood floors and a 1641!
When i was 16 i bought a 68 that had so much heat you had to put your left leg as far away from the heater as you could becasue it would burn you! I wish i never sold that one! :wacko:

65 beetle,bought it in bellingham towed it home and she fired right up.
i loved the car but i did some really bad things to it in the 80's that i though were cool (i piece windows and i painted the engine tin pink and seafoam ughh)
funny thing is the car was sold locally in 94 and i see it every year at the great canadian (now resides in cambell river)

first car and first vw was a 71 super beetle.

it was bone stock + a set of studded snow tires on the back. it saw more off road than on. i grew up on denman island and the 4x4 trails there were plentifull. that car could go anywhere that 4x4 could go. it also got me to & from high school for my senior year. and provided me with many fond memories and good rides.

it was christened  \"lil drop o' honey\" and my friends and i started our car club, the road pirates.

dayum, i put that car through the ringer and beat the living piss out of it daily. we all know how we were when we were 16-19. ;)

someday i will build a badass baja and call it \"lil drop o' honey II\" in her memory.

Mine was a 74 super I bought in Whitehorse. Had to drain the water from the fuel tank and drove it all summer and drove back to alberta. Still had the vw canada tires on it. Then drove it back up the next summer and back again. Good car. Abused the heck out of it but it kept going.

67 square. Started pulling it apart right away. New floors, IRS rear clip, tacked in the heater channels, slammed it, then the barn fell over :(

My first car was a 72 beetle. It was lowered with special baja edition wheels and pinstriping on the side. I also painted it bright yellow with brown interior. AHHHHHH the 80s were a fun time.

73 super death trap beetle

drove the hell out of it.

rusted away and traded it for some work on another car, the guy who took it from spent $4500 at a body shop getting all the rust cut out and replaced with fresh metal.

My first vw was a 66 got for free from an neighbour, Four of us got bugs, nocked out the windows , put up a drivers door safety net, Seat belt, and a helmet and went blind man's demolishion derby in a corn field.  We were only 15 but what a hoot.   Marcel
