When I got my license in 1972 I found the A was too cold to use that winter.I found that a 61 Beetle with no heat was a lot warmer than the A.They multiply like A's too.After the first one I owned a few dozen more.My grandfather worked for a man that sold Subarus in the mid 70's,and at that time the bug owners were finding the Subaru a good replacement.My grandfather would call me and I would go to the dealership with a $100.dollar bill for the owner to put in his pocket.I'd sell them for $150-$250.I still want another Beetle,but they really have gotten pretty pricey.My criteria is,pre-67,STOCK.No lowering,mag wheels,souped up engines,modern interior.If the exhaust doesn't whistle I'm not interested.I have a solid 65 I have been sitting on for around 20 years,but every time I think I am going to get to it another A gets in the way.
