I love air cooled vee dubs! I had a 68 and a 71 Super. One of my dad's co-workers gave him the 68 when I was about 11. It ran but had the usual rotted out heater channels and floor. He rebuilt it by hand, made a new floor from fiberglass, fixed it up in general. It had been white originally (I think) with red suits with white trim. He painted it yellow (he was an industrial painter, and the paint was shall-we-say free), and when I was 12 gave it to me and taught me to drive on it. I didn't drive it much, someone offered me $100 for it, and they were still that cheap at the time.
I paid $600 for the Super with thoughts of fixing it up, until I disassembled it and found out there wasn't any part on it that wasn't rusted all the way through and held together with bondo. The engine needed rebuilding too. We farted around with it for a few years and let it go, also for $100
I'll get another someday, and it won't go for no Franklin...
