My first car was a 65 bug, got it when I was 15 for $50.
It has a fresh rebuild 1500 cc engine but the owner could never get it running right.
That's cause the cam timing was off a tooth or two when it was assembled.
It took me a couple weeks to nail it down, but for under $100 I had a driving bug with a rebuilt engine.
It ended up as a cal-look but with an 1835, dual 40 webers, and ran low 14's at the bug in.
back then it was common to ditch the bumpers completely and replace them with nerf bars (like the one in the pic, not my car), mostly because we couldn't afford straight bumpers.
