Hey guys just throwin a post in here with my car for you all to have a look..........

Beautiful

nice. it looks just like my old grade 3 teachers bug.

i dont know does the colour look familar hmmm may be its the same as my first 2 sbugs. mustard yellow. still looks good mate how about some more info about it, like is it stock? what have you done to it or are planning to do

Ok plans for the car are absolutly none apart from a drive every weekend or whenever i have the chance.

Mods or new parts - None whatsoever , its a completely original 15 Million edition Build - 999 superbug with the only changes being.......

*Wiper blades
*Engine oil , Oil filter , Strainer and fuel filters
*Tyres

Otherwise owned by my grandfather since when he bought it in 72..........
Means alot to me now as it did to him.............:thumb

awesome mate. keep it stock. with all the mods going on, sweet as they are, its good to see the old original running like it did way back when :beer

thats cool that its a 15th million im using the body of one to rebuild my sbug which i wrought off not sure what number it is though its on the plate in taree.

Hell yeh , could'nt agree more..........

Ahh good stuff , how long you guys been into dub's ?

3 and a half yrs :thumb

since i came home from the hospital it was in a karmann ghia almost 25 years ago

hehehe i can underatand why then.............

yes mate the same ghia is still in the family but is not on the road

Ah nice , any plans for a restore ?

very sweet ride

doesnt need one its just in storage cause its not practical for the old man to drive it. it might be getting a 2L t4 kombi motor though. besides the old man is busy with mine at the moment

Ah good stuff , any idea's on what sort of value my car would hold and other things you guys can tell me bout this particular model ?

well having 3 of them at the moment. a good one ie no rust good engine and gear box will be about $5000. about $3000 for a little rust. and about $500 for one with some rust and stuffed engine

Oh ok fair enough.......
I was led to believe that it would be worth more than that by the guy who's serviced it from new so i give up and all other amounts from different people so i give up...........

:cussing

you may be able to get more for it as its a 15th million but with out seeing the car im only guessing. for example the one im driving now is worth only 3 grand but the one im doing up will be like 10 to 15 grand adn was 7 grand before i wrought it off

Yeh i know what your saying......
Well either way its just nice owning 1 anyway.........

with you on that one mate cause all of mine are within 6 months of each other

:sandrine wow she is a beauty! what sort of kms has she done?

88,323 Miles when i picked it up from toll transport 2day........

nice car...

i like supers too

I have a 71 super (going to be son when done) a 72 super (will be my done up daily) and a 71 standard on the way ...if I can ever get shipping sorted.

I bought two of the them here on avd

actually truth be known...i just love vws

if i could spend my life uner one i would...but family keep dragging me away from them

Yeh well they are a really incredible car and just as likeable too seeing they have stood the test of time.......
I kinda love mine now too. :blush
