Hello from Newnan

I have a 1962 Rag top. I came here to find p0arts and advice. This is my 4th Beetle and my first in 10 years.

Glad you found the site man. Feel free to post wanted ads or ask about any questions you have.

There is a show next weekend in Columbus also that may have some people selling parts.

Welcome to the site! We have a few guys from Newnan on here.  Feel free to come and hang out with the Airheads on the second Saturday.  Also as Eric said Bugs on the Hooch in Columbus is a week from Saturday and on June 6th Y U Buggin at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Thanks Id like to see if I can get the family to go to the show. Sadly KO on 85 Sunday:(

Sounds like a sweet ride- would love to see some pics. That is quite a span of time, what prompted you to pick up another VW?

This is a free show! Though I guess your car won't be ready yet. I'll be there in my bus, say hi if you make it down!

Y U Buggin

This show is still a few weeks away so maybe you can have your car up and running for this one. And you can drive it around the speedway!

And another reason to come to YU Buggin, they just announced there will be $1 raffle tickets for a rebuilt engine!

Cool that's Callahans old car.

Yea it been through two since Callahan.

Owners that it. You know much about this bugs history. I was going to look at the 58 green ragtop Callahan had for sale but it sold before I got their. Saw this one on Craigslist this thing seems solid. It has been hit on the drivers side fender and someone put a latter fender on their. Also need to fix the rear deck-lid hinge or find a new one. Im not sure if im going to change the body to tub seal. And a few more things.

I dont really know anything about it.  I just remember when Callahan had it, it had a stock width adjustable beam and the widened rear smoothies.  I think he said his Grandfather found the car.

Just a couple pics from his facebook....

It still has the mismatch front finders. I was going to cut the light holes back out. that's when I found out the where two different fenders. I also dilled the hood to put the chrome back on. The P/O was doing a cal look on it. What year are those pictures?

I think those are early 2013.

nice looking rag top Dake
