black/satin 60's beetle with surf board on roofrack - only saw it from between the vehicles in my way

Anyone here driving it? It looked good.

Oh yeah. I almost forgot.
At 3 PM on Monday, I was picking up the kids from school in Decatur, and I saw a very clean, stock, Red beetle (68 - 72 or so) Going east on Ponce de Leon in front of Glenwood Academy. An older gentileman was driving it, but that thing looked like he just left a restoration shop.

When: This mornig (04/03) at 6:30am
Where: GA155 in McDonough
What: Tan and black Thing headed towards town. I was half awake and it was already across the intersection when I noticed it.

the other day i saw a brown vanogan passing by. really clean looking, prolly had a respray. someone put a lot of time and $$ into getting it looking so nice.

and today i met a guy who had a 72 super beetle (yellow, with brown fenders, and matching brown visor). his car also had the dealer installed air conditioning system installed (did all 72 super's have AC on them??? ).

We passed this guy today around 5pm heading south on I-85 around mile 64.

I was on moreland Ave. heading to dinner and this is what I saw:
time:7:30pm
what:56Oval Ragtop/

that's right guys the Havoc caught fire in the middle of the road

it's a sad nite I'm going to have myself a shot of Patron and go to bed guys.

Ouch. doesn't look too bad tho. I think its the perfect time to upgrade to a TURBO. nothing crazy, just like 23lbs of boost lol. gurry up and get it fixed, u got 9 days. we need to ride up together, lol. if i can get my motor put back together, and in my car, and get it re-wired up in 9 days, you can get yours running no problem, hahaha. good luck. i hope i get invited to the party

Sorry man. But like Mike said, it doesn't look to bad in the picture. Maybe just fix the carb and replace a fuel line or two and hopefully you'll be back on the road.

WTF?!??!!!!!????


What happened? Where did it catch? How hot did it get?

Man. If you need any help my bf said he would help you with the paint. He owns a bodyshop in Dallas. Sad!!! Hope all goes well!

Ouch.... that sucks, but hopefully it's not as bad as it seems. Good luck on it, if ya need help on it just yell.

When: Today, April 7 at 4:45 PM
Where: I-575N near exit 20
What: Black 56 Oval being squeezed by other traffic. No respect for vintage cars! Oh, I guess that yellow Mustang boxed you in for a second too...

hope your not talking bout my '79 oval... (its a 55 btw )

Saw a lowered baby blue 72 standard beetle this afternoon.... the guy just pulled right into my drive way
The bug he was driving had Aircooled Addicts stickers on the quarter windows.
Turns out it is a guy that lives nearby, and he has seen it sitting at my place for a while. He said he saw I was working on it and he wanted to say hi..... but maybe he wanted to see if I was selling it.

yeah I saw him right after you left walgreens today. Is this it.


yeha

Yep that's it... did you talk to him at all? I tried to, but his english wasn't all that great. He says he has a few AC, including an old bus with trophys... I did get his # and I want to go see it.

When: April 10th
Where: GA20 @ I-75
What: Blue trike with full Beetle rear end in the turn lane to get on I-75 south.
Revved the buggy engine as I passed and got a dirty look from the riders.

Also saw Bryce headed to the meet about 5 min later.

Screems '74 to me with those fenders / tailights....
KC

I know, I asked what year when I was staring at the holes where the bumper shocks go through. He didn't open it for me to see any other point of view besides standing next to it, though I had extremely messy hands at the time. honestly I was thinking the wide taillights and that bumper bracket configuration started in 73.... but what do I know, I didn't know what I was getting into with this 67

red and white split window bus - not sure what year - columbia/moreland, decatur

bumper brackets started in 74... then changed in 75... and also switched to fuel injection... if someone wants to count the louvers under the rear window we could determine if it is at least a 73

It is a 74. That use to belong to one of our members. He got in a tight spot and had to sell it a while back.

70's white convertible on howell mill - nice guy talked to him at a red light and gave him an atl wagens card.

i see a guy driving down 61 every morning in this sweet 62-63 it sounds amazing. i wanna see him and tell him about GA Dubs. but i cant find the thing anywhere.
