I purchased it a few years ago for a summer beach car for my family. It has been garaged 100% of the time I've had it (stored for the winter each year) and driven lightly each summer. The prior owner put in a brand new engine which only has approx. 2-3k miles on it. I had a brand new custom exhaust installed this year, and a new top this year. Since there was a minor oil drip when I purchased it due to improper seating of gaskets and since my wife threaten to divorce me if any more oil dripped on our garage floor, I had the engine pulled this year and all new gaskets installed and the engine serviced. All fixed. Body has been repainted and is in great shape . . . not "show quality" but very nice. Minor blemishes, none are significant. Definitely catches peoples' eye! I have new floor pans and front seat rails that have not been installed but will be sold with the car. Seats are in great shape with no major tears or rips. One or two minor holes (back seat) but good shape. Also installed new battery this year. Overall, great driver and loads of fun for the family. Feel free to call or email with any questions.

From the Webmaster's own notes, dated 11/16/2008: "Decent restorable original antique VW wheel rims in size 16" diameter x 3" width. These would've been original equipment on early split window Beetles, pre-1953. I'm looking to assemble a decent set to refinish and use on my 1950 Bug. Definitely would consider singles, pairs, what-have-you. Needing hubcap clips ok too-I am able to reclip. For reference, I've scanned a couple shots of the 16" wheels I'm looking for, from a past refinishing project, which are clickable as follows: two-toned 16" wheel with whitewall tire mounted, two-tone wheel & ww tire on car w/o hubcap, and finally, the same combo mounted on the car, with a hub cap fitted.Thanks for any help in finding any of these 16" VW wheels!

From the Webmaster's own notes: "I would like to find some Michelin XZX radial tires in size 165R15. Having visited Coker's web site, however, I already know there is no way I can afford new ones. So, I'm hoping I can perhaps gradually assemble a good usable set of used ones. If you are familiar with XZX's, you already know why they are unique and desirable by us "tire-heads." I would call them a true "old school performance radial." THIS IMAGE illustrates the Michelin XZX tread design. A couple of other Michelin XZX images that I gleaned from the internet, to hopefully further illustrate what I'm looking for are viewable by clicking HERE and HERE (that second one being the actual image from the Coker web site). Again, the size I'm looking for is 165R15, and I would also like to steer clear of any age-cracked tires, since I do a fair amount of highway driving with my old '68 VW Bug. If you have, or know of any of this size Michelin XZX avaialble out there in decent, usable (& non-age-cracked) condition--even singles, pairs, etc.--please do drop me an e-mail. Thanks, Steve from SAAC." (this ad posted 8/14/2007)

Both of us are car enthusiasts and both have had issues related to storage in the past, namely inadequate facilities and/or a need to have our own garages clear for off-season projects. I am writing to you with the request that you poll your club members to determine how many (if any) might use such a facility, what amenities they would like to see in the facility, and roughly what they would be willing to pay for the service(s) provided. We envision this facility, at least at this early stage, as containing enclosed, individual parking bays with work benches (as well as outside storage areas if requested), a car wash, detailing services available on request, and a lounge where patrons could meet and exchange information. All of this would of course be subject to 24 hour security. We also have entertained the idea of completing consignment sales of vehicles on site for the facility patrons a their request. Finally, we feel that, if successful, such a facility would be suitable for weekly cruise nights and swap meets. We are currently seeking suitable facilities in the greater Hartford area.
