boof2332 - May 13th, 2006 at 08:20 AM

I was busy on the phone trying to negotiate a roundabout
when from no where appear 3 ugly maniacs in a rat looking 71 single cab, yelling some foreign language I couldnt quite place...maybe "eaglebeakusinterruptus"

I Wana Herbie - May 15th, 2006 at 10:40 AM

hi, could some one please send pics to me to xela8@hotmail.com

and where abouts is this car located?


57 Chook Shed - May 15th, 2006 at 04:50 PM

But Herbie was a `62 Ragtop.


I Wana Herbie - May 18th, 2006 at 11:34 AM

yeh i know, i have since found a 62 rag top.
2 yrs ago now. but cant put my self to give it a new paint job, still looks a nice tourquize color so ill delay the herbie plan for now,

but id really love an oval or split.
i just sold 2 of my other beetles so i wouldnt mind a nice classic like this


Hertz - May 18th, 2006 at 11:39 AM

You should herbie that split, that would look so awesome:puke

Here are a couple of pics I took this week...guess if you really want a split beetle, then the choices are about the same as wanting a Barnie...anyway...he asked me to post these...most of that crap on it is mud and sand not rust...!

oval TOFU - May 18th, 2006 at 10:43 PM

drool.... i wonder how solid it really is?


crewcabconnection - May 18th, 2006 at 10:53 PM

Not that I'm a Beetle expert...but....it looked solid to me. I'm used to looking at rusty splitters...so in comparison, this looked VERY solid. Sure Steve will let you know heaps more if you call him mate.


byronbus - May 18th, 2006 at 11:18 PM

It is sweet, the reason the dirt has stuck is because i dribble on it everytime im there...


PrettyBlueBug - May 19th, 2006 at 09:25 AM

Hahaha :P


blkovl - May 19th, 2006 at 08:04 PM

sent u2u


boof2332 - May 20th, 2006 at 01:48 AM

The one I got was a light green and was from Emerald. Itr is 280kms from Rockhapten....
Yes the box fixed and back in and the car now has a pressure reg which works= insanely fast.

Not many cars left out there...I went there yesterday and today Steve dropped off the 74 1300, 74 old PowerTune car with the whale tail(old school), 70 1500, 72 superbug, 69 semi auto, 70 lowered motor mags and a berg shifter and last but not least the 67 Panel Van(it should be 7 intotal)

Maybe its not such a good Idea to go looking.

seagull - May 21st, 2006 at 11:57 AM

has this been sold ?


crewcabconnection - May 21st, 2006 at 03:35 PM

you'd think so ay...if it was one of Steve's barn doors they'd be gone by now 10 times over ... maybe Beetle folks are not as keen to get as early as possible. How many times do things like this come up. Even if you can't afford to fix it now, then it still makes a great investment.

Go on Steve, sell a barnie too.


Beerboy - May 21st, 2006 at 06:06 PM

POSTCODE PLEASE! ;-)

The more I look at the picks I have of this the more I like it. looks rock solid to me


Hertz - May 21st, 2006 at 06:34 PM

I bet it had a real colourfull past back in the mother country. mmmm something smells good.

could we get a pic of the dash and interior?


KOM123 - May 21st, 2006 at 09:45 PM

Some more pics. Sorry some are a bit dark, it started to shower (hence the drops you see on the Beetle) and we had to move it undercover where the light wasn't as good.
