This car has always lived in Florida, and spent most of its life in a junkyard in Plant City. (It was hit in the right front wheel.)
While the car is decently solid, it is getting a pan-off refresh. The new owner's plan is to restore the chassis and running gear and leave the body looking distressed, and I plan to stay involved.

You remind me of Steve Jobs a bit. http://a5.files.biography.com/image/upl ... QwMDE1.jpgBlue Baron wrote:Here is the proud new owner with the black '66.
This is a car that I rescued from a junkyard seven or eight years ago. The goal was always to see it back on the road one day (and ride in it) and it looks like that goal will be met.

Glad to see Rusty finished!
Will you be taking Rusty to the VWs over the skyway this year or any of the upcoming meets? Glad to know another 66 is on the road in the neighborhood.

Rusty was at Quaker Steak
Rusty drove over the Skyway Bridge with no problems.
