Looks like the same one I used to see on Mars Hill Rd, behind AJ's
Chrome yellow with a smiley face spare tire cover on front. Didn't
know it was for sale again.
Further down Jimmy Daniell heading toward 316 there is a beetle
under a carport, sitting back off the road. Looks like it used to be
Seafoam Green at one time, but now its rockin' some great patina.
Appears to be late 50's to early 60's. Never got close enough to it to
tell for sure. _________________ 63 Beetle |

That's a 58 beetle. Joey has stopped and asked about it several times. 'Not for sale' yet. _________________ 73 Typ481

It's on the verge of just being a pile of iron oxide. I looked at it a couple of years ago. _________________ Ya can't have too many VDUBS.

The bus looks pretty good. It was priced at $3000 by the PO. It doesn't appear to be for sale now. _________________ 73 Typ481

He is the guy that told me $3000.00 firm. He has had several VWs and I think he still has a bug in his barn. Nice guy, but he will talk your ear off. _________________ 73 Typ481
