1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle
Added on April 12 by M030

This is Herbie. My parents were VW mechanics when I was a kid and they gave me this car when I was six!

I learned to drive in it at 9. I “modified” (some would say destroyed) it when I was a teenager and I’ve been dragging it around ever since.

Plans include 944 alloy rear control arms, 944 brakes, widened 912 steel wheels, and a repaint to early 1960’s Porsche ivory white (sorry, no Herbie stripes)

So far I’ve got a big pile of Porsche parts and a 71 Super Beetle parts car. Someday…
