'71 Squareback. It had sat out on the Utah prairie for 6 or 7 years
without rusting, so I towed it home and spent about 2 years restoring
it (All that means is that I am SLOW). I did my own body work and
painting (which is why it oughta be repainted). Put in a custom
velour interior (maroon with gray inserts) and standard engine w/dual
carbs.
The Square is now just basic transportation. I'm too tired and
lazy to build a show car.
Alas, my '71 van, "Hitler's Revenge", has been sidelined for many
months now, having been ravaged by an under-the-dash wiring
conflagration. I am going to take out the 2110cc engine and put it
in a '71 high top camper van....someday! Also have a '69 Fastback
w/automatic tranny to restore...yes, someday!... for my wife's
use.
And, Toby, the "VW graveyard" that you saw is almost gone! Had 5
parts cars (by now totally partless), towed away this week.
