New to Vdubs, having stumbled into a restore project.
I'm a '71 vintage male, married, living outside Ft. Huachuca, AZ.
My new best friend is a '67 Fastback, generally rust in color and inop. - but I hope to fix that in the coming years ... |

50 this year.
Savannah, GA area.
First car was a '71 Squareback in HI, as were my next 2 after that ('69,'69).
Always owned a VW, been driving a MK IV Jetta TDI Wagon for the last 8 years.
I've been out of aircooled for about 20 years... when I reluctantly sold my almost rust free '56 single cab.
Back in it now with a rustbucket '64 Notch and clean but bare '67 Square projects. |

64 in So Cal
My dad bought me a 55 vert in 1968 for $300.00. I'm the second owner and still have it! Boy, if that car could talk! (maybe better that it can't)
My driver is a 65 sqbk, with a 2161, that I've had for 20 years and counting. |

I have since graduated to the old man group! _________________ I'd be UNSTOPPABLE if not for Law Enforcement and PHYSICS.
I recycle old cars and parts, other than when I rot, that's as Green as I am going to get.
Thanks to my Tesla driving neighbors, I feel more relaxed driving my SUBURBAN and old VW's.

58 Married Airline Pilot with two Squares..... 72 and a 73.
Was out of aircooled for twenty years , then got smarter and bought one , then another.
Havent had this much fun driving in a long time although its getting to be snow and salt season so it will be time to put them away. _________________ A man without a belly is merely a boy. |
