60FlatTop Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 "Thar ain't a VW part in them thar Shay's old feller." Someone once said. They are a collection of Pinto and pop rivets. A car builder friend of mine bought one last year and has been enjoying every minute of reconditioning the car for the upcoming season. Like me with my way too new Buick with the roof cut off, we will stay away from the real pillars of taste. Rides to a family diner in another town and local cruise nights are just fine. It makes a nice historical moment for the better part of a hundred years I will be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if you like it and will enjoy driving it, that's all that matters! Yes it's a replica, but now I consider all the kit car VW based cars to be okay. Just have fun and don't take things too seriously. Just tell people that it's a replica, most will still be interested. If you prefer the real thing that's cool too. A real car has a place in history, but to each their own! Never had a white belt and shoes, or a leisure suit. But next month there is a "Back to the 80's" event in town, might take the 1981 El Camino to blend in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
