Bob Jerginsons old car for sale
This really surprised me to see this on ebay.
Older long time members of Club VeeDub will know this car and unfortunately the original builder (my old school mate) passed away about 2 years ago at
43.
Not sure if anything has been altered since I last saw it, but all I can remember is saying how much I would love to own this car. Others will be able
to tell you more about it and whom Rob (Bob) sold it to etc. I recall it had a wicked motor in it though.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1971-Volkswagen-Beetle-Yellow-M-/160843475001?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item257304a839
This is a photo of the car at Rob's funeral, it was brought along in his respect and for his family members to see it again.
Can this please be left in this section out of respect of an old friend please.
Thanks, Kev
P.S. I have no affiliation with this sale.
P.P.S. As per the rules
Car located at
151 Parramatta Rd
Homebush 2140
NSW
1300 259177
$24999 obo

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am sure there was an articule on this car and another similar yellow beetle in a hot 4's / fast fours mag back in the
late 90's early 00's?
I still have the mag somewhere, I will see if I can drag it out.

Hi
I just saw it in a car yard on Parramatta Road at Homebush.
Major, that was my old yellow bug in the Hot 4s article along with Jurgos bug.

I was racking my brain trying to remember what year this Volkswagen Australia magazine was as they didn't used to date them or follow a release
schedule.
Till I noticed at the bottom '95 nats program

A sad day
It's a sad day when I see Jurgo's Yellow Aero beetle in a car yard.
Someone please buy it & use it for what it was built for.

Not to mention generous, did you read this offer "Receive a free tank of fuel when you purchase at the sticker price". Who buys a car at sticker
price?

Blues Bros are friends of the last owner who also recently passed away and the proceeds of the sale will be going to the guys family.
I recon we should start a raffle, raise the money and raffle winner gets it. Makes it easier than the whole forum owning the car and fights starting
out.
The V Force boys can give us more info of what happened to the original Berg engine.
bitten by the bug..........several times
