some people are like slinky's

Hi, Last Year I owned a 1972 standard beetle that looked just like yours but needed a lot of work done on it, and I sold it after about 5 months. It had a 1500 single port engine (originally 1300) drum brakes all round..and a Swing rear axle and compensator spring, mechanically it was very well worn,and had a bit of body rust... I young fellow now has it and is driving it about. IMHO these are Rare in Australia... Some say they are common, but I've only ever seen 2 or 3... and if there are 10 at a VW Show , it doesn't mean much as there may be only 10 in the state..... So I say You have a Rare VW there... Best Wishes from Scone. :o:thumb:thumb:thumb:bounce:bounce:bounce
