Hmm. Beetles I had: 1966 sedan 1968 convertible 1971 convertible 1959 barn door van 1971 Fastback
At least those are the ones I recall. There may have been others. Rebuilt a few engines, did a fair amount of floor pan and rocker replacements. The 1959 barn door van was my all time favorite. Paid $200 for it in 1977. Can’t imagine what it would be worth today. -D > On Dec 6, 2020, at 11:09 PM, archer75--- via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > On Sun, 6 Dec 2020 10:29:50 -0800 > Jim Cathey via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > >>> Wonder how many of us have air cooled engine experience? >> >> >> My parents had a beetle.
