1970 Super Beatle - POS Edition. $600

Overall I've had (almost all POS Editions):
VW's:
14 bugs 57 - 74
7 Ghias 59 - 73
7 busses 62 - 70 (3 had the 8 roof windows and giant sunroofs)
1 fastback
1 squareback
1 rabbit convertible
1 quantum
1 sandrail

also:
2 1960 mercedes
6 fiats 60 - 74
4 saabs 72 - 85
7 volvos 62 - 86
4 dodges
1 cadilac
2 mazdas
1 honda
2 or 3 fords
1 or 2 chevys
2 datsuns
1 mg
1 audi

probably forgetting a few...

A lot of these cars I bought for under $100 just so I could beat the crap out of them, see how far I could jump them, etc. Growing up in Alaska in the 80's made this form of cheap entertainment possible. Some of the VWs were parts cars.

My first car was a 1975 AMC Gremlin with a driver's side door that didn't open in my Jr. year of High School circa 1987. I must add that it burned more oil than gas. 8-track included. But it could uncomfortably fit 7 17 year-olds and 2 24 packs of wine coolers. (Thank you Bartles & James!) Cost = $200.00.
