I bought a REALLY nice '71 last august. It was nearly perfect and running, but I still spent 2 weeks working thru all the little things that were wrong with it. It's very nice now, so I suspect that's what I'll be driving to Hershey. I don't think you could ever plan to pick up one of these old cars and just drive it home. The only ones that you could do that with would not be for sale. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
