How best to sum up the No Dough Weekend, a Volkswagen get-together that wrapped up this past Sunday at the City Center Municipal Complex in Port Orange, Florida?

Perfect weather, a welcoming setting and lots of VWs old and new alike. And did we mention it was free?

Upon returning for home, yes, I was cruising the VW ads. I think a Type 3 would be cool....

Timely, I'm getting ready to go buy a Vanagon in about an hour. Anything I should look for? It's an air cooled '81.   Apparently rust is the biggest issue (rockers, base of the windshield and underneath)

While I appreciate all cars on some level or another the only VW that I really get excited about is the Karmann Ghia

Grew up in aircooleds. I love 'em but don't see myself having one.

A1 chassis cars are apparently my soft spot.

In reply to calteg :

I cannot give advice on that, I basically got lucky on mine. Although an early aircooled wouldn't be my first choice, I think the '86 and up vans are easier to maintain. Also, 67 hp and a top speed of 75 means it's a little leisurely in modern traffic.

In reply to Datsun310Guy :

You know, we found ourselves looking at a '67 as well. Mildly warmed over and looked really clean, including good/new/proper paint, full interior redo, 1776 engine, etc., etc.
