The Year was 1981, I'm in high school working at a pizza joint. Car in the parking lot takes my young heart. I bought it.
Lime Green.
Red Velour interior seats
Flared fiberglass fenders
Baja style front hood.
Dual weber carbs, big bore and a god awful loud cherry bomb pipe muffler.
Used a skateboard as an engine stand, and we timed our engine drops.
Went to many Bug-In car shows, for an engine blow contest, drain all the oil out of the Bug Motor, then wire it throttle wide open till she seizes or blows, You bought tickets guessing how many minutes/seconds it'd blow and winner gets a prize.
Got laid many times in at at the Drive-in Theater I worked at.
good times great memories. Life was simple then. GRINS, note the fuzzy dice......
