Hello from New England: '66 Bahama Blue Time Capsule

Post by Seabreeze »

Hello All - Greetings from New England. I am excited to be taking delivery of this all original sunroof Bug. My first venture into classic cars. What I appreciate about the Bug I found is that it is all original, with 39k original miles. Down to the black cardboard insert behind the blank horn cover, the VW gascap, and the original shortwave radio. Hopefully I can keep it up! Looking forward to the forum, any tips, advice etc.

Wow! Very nice Beetle. I am in favor of keeping them original but I would consider adding a 3rd brake light if it is going to get any daily driving. I added one to my car using a Hella bumper mounted reverse light with a reproduction 1957 and older type II brake light lens. It was mounted without drilling any holes into the car.
