Greetings: A Notchback Report from Utah:

I don't have any great news for you on where to find the wonderful Notch
of your dreams in my neck of the woods, Utah, but I do have a report as
such. I know of only 3 Notches in northern Utah. (I would suppose there
are more.) Two are mid-sixties custom jobs and the other is a
mid-sixties stock Notch that is quite beautiful. I believe it's a cream
color and completely as it came from Wolfsburg. I saw it at the BYU
campus in Provo, Utah. I left a note to give me a call if he wanted to
sell it and never heard from the guy. Nice. And solid too. Wow. I about
wet myself when I saw it. There are a few others that a guy has told me
about who deals in a lot of 50's vintage and more rare VW stuff.

There's also Tom-Tom's VW Museum in Moab, Utah. This guy's pretty
legendary in Volkswagens. He has a whole mess of cars at his garage and
decided to call his yard a "Museum" when a local town councilman
threatened to cause some trouble with all the stuff he has laying
around. 

Anyway, he has two Notches: a '63 and a '67 I believe. I didn't get to
actually look at them up close but supposedly they're pretty solid. But
WARNING: This guy has some pretty major pipe dreams about the value of
his cars. For example, he priced a late model Beetle for me that was
sitting out by the road at his shop. It was a solid car body wise, but
needed a full and total restoration: headliner, rubber, motor,
everything mechanical, etc. He only wanted a mere $2,500. He reads
Hemmings and Hot VW's all the time and he sees all these prices of fully
restored cars, and the prices on his unrestored cars seem to go up and
up.

Anyway, I think I could find about ten Notches for what he'd probably
want for one of his. 

Just my two cents.

Take Care All:
