My first car was a 70 model beetle. Takes me back.
Can't wait to see some pics.

When I picked up the 64 beetle the guys told me his daughter thought it was too bare, it has no gadgets... phew what did she know? And his son thought it wasn't cool enough. Again what was he thinking? There loss my gain. :)
