When I quit in 1979, they were up over $10,000. But, today if you think about it, VW AG, is a much different company. They own: Rolls Royce, Bentley, Massaratti, Lamborghini, Audi, Porsche, and I think a few others. The VW, you might say is the bottom of their vehicle line up. -- Russ Wolfe '71 Fastback AT '66 Fastback MT (not running yet) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
