Saw a ridiculous VW collection this weekend
Was taking the long way home this weekend here in sunny SA. Stopped at a light and happened to glance over to my left and saw a VW shop with a long hood Porsche in the front. I couldn't resist so I took a left and parked. Turns out it was a 912, but that wasn't what caught my eye. This guy has a lot that is simply STUFFED with old VWs.
He was closed but was there working on a couple engines and let me poke around his yard a little. He told me he has about 65 Bugs of all years, 4 convertible Ghias and another 6-7 hardtop ghias, about 20 buses of various types and 4 914s. The 912 is the only non-914 Porsche that he has. He said he collected them all during his younger years and then decided to open up a shop. Now he slowly restores them and then sells em. He said a Bug will go from 6k-12k depending on year and condition and the convertible ghias he sells for 15k after restoration. I might have to go back there before I move and make an offer on one of his unrestored convertible bugs as a project. Biggest collection of VWs I have ever seen.
I'll try and get by to snap some pics for you guys in the next day or two...
