Original Owner 1966 Sea Sand Beetle

Post by Joe Willy »

Showed this little jewel at the Bug Fest Dade City, Fl November 2010.

Not a restoration project but basically as I keep the car. Bought new in
St. Louis Mo 1966. Kept there, drove to school and work until Feb 73.
Then took the little thing to Chicago and drove until engine blew 75.
Vaned the car to Fl in 77 and had engine rebuilt 82 for my daughter.
Parked again until 86 when my son drove. then parked and driven occasionaly by myself since about 1988.

Did not place as I have aftermarket wheels and that kills me in stock
class and of course cannot compete in modified.

With the history of the car I had posted on the side glass believe I had
more viewers that anyone.

Had a great time at the show

Nice looking car. There's not many one owners around.

Should have kept those stock wheels huh?
