Hi guys,
I'm pretty keen to get a Bug sometime later on in the year.. I'd like to get one from around the 59-67 years. I just had a couple of questions that you kind, kind people might be able to help me with pretty please? =D
1) I'm a rather tall individual- about 185cm so around 6'3 in the old measurements.. Are there any space problems when it comes to leg/head room that you guys have?
2) What sort of prices do you guys think I'd be looking at for a bug in OK condition with a RWC? I'm more concerned about body condition and some mechanical reliability than paintwork and
Thanks for your help fella's
Cheers, Rhys
I am 6'4 and only problem I have is swinging in my big work boots. Knees rubbing on steering wheel too getting in and out but nothing major. Good body is the first priority everything else can be repaired relatively cheaply and parts are readily available. Good Hunting. My2c

What's your budget?
Do you like driving with your knees around your ears. I highly suggest you test drive a beetle to make sure it's what you want 👍
1963 Single Cab Ute: "El Concreto"
1962 Baja Beetle: "Peanut"
1968 Porsche 912 SWB: "Pip"
1972 Kombi Snail: "The Snail"
2012 Skoda Octavia Scout: "Scout"
2016 Scirocco R: "Rocco"
I'm 6'3" no dramas.
Unless your a skilled welder / body man, try to find the best body you can. I seem to do well pickiing up cars out out west, little rust and less chance of collision damage. Unfinished projects can also be a good opportunity.
They always say "Buy the best car you can find and youll save in the long run" say $5K
Haha I'd like to spend around 5-6kish (or less) but like i said, this will be later on in the year so anything could change... I'll definitely take one for a test drive before i decide though!
Maby someone in your area would let you drive their's or at least sit in first. I have no dramas but im a short ass 6 foot. Where abouts are you?
🙂
