was it down on power that much?
It was a '69 bug with a stock single port motor and lots of issues idling when I first bought it. I got great at heal/toe stops to keep the rpms up. It wasn't until later that I learned it was helpful to keep the rpms in the powerband (when I bought my 240z).
yeah keeping the RPM's up and in the powerband does help. my buddy had a '69 also. he never heel-toed it though..fun little cars.
I wish I still had pictures of my beater. Had some front end damage, so I replaced the hood and left the front fenders off and painted it satain black. Once I redid the motor (went 1641 with dp heads) and put a progressive carb on, it was a fun little bastard. But when I pulled the tank, you could see where the tunnel was split clear through and had been hastily welded together. It didn't hold, so I scrapped it. But the motor went into b-mans and he drove the piss out of his for 3 years.

they look even more fun to drive....and a great sound to bootThis is is the only air cooled car I want to build now:
Since they went away from the butchered VW pan and have a dedicated chassis, they can be made into real screamers. I'm torn between the classic look and the wide body kit. I like the idea of a sleeper classic build, though.
Don't know if this belongs here, but the more I listen.....the more I laugh!

Nice filming and dancing.
beautifully shot, but the context was meh.
Yeah, there are a bunch of things I'd change about it -- still gives me the willies and makes me want to go drive though.
