Momma Rich's new buggy

Papa Rich · **Posted:** Mon Apr 21, 2014 4:43 pm

Ok, since everyone has been asking, here is Momma's new ride. She has wanted one of these forever. And she has been real good about all the buggies I have and have been involved in so I just couldn't pass it up. You know how it is as long as Momma is happy everyone is happy.

1965 VW convertible with a stock 40hp engine. It does need some work so it is not quite as nice as the pictures show. So seeing as I have nothing else to do :^o

it looks like it may one of my next projects.

If you want more low end put lighter weights in but you will lose some top end lol!

Nice ride!

Nice. You could always make it into one of those souped up baja bugs when she isn't looking.

That'll keep you busy! Congrats.

Crap... makes me miss the two I just sold... Now I hafta' go look for another one!

First two are the "SUNBUG" (Or was before paint)

Third is the Wolfsberg with all the gauges

I am thinking of going a get two 74 Sun Bugs. I need a dual port motor and an IRS tranny for parts and thought I would finish the second one to recoup some of my expenses.

I use to work on these a lot back in the day and have had several back when money was real tight. I would buy and fix and flip for extra income. Never had a vert tho.

Why would any body design a motor without oil filter,just a screen in the sump.Maybe a lawnmower.I still scratch my head at how long these bugs run.Ghost
