69 Bug I use to have

Post by Beetlebuddies »

Here is some pics of my 69 bug i owned in the 80's. At the time it was sort off the look for Bugs, whaletail and all. Had a 1635 motor with rollerbearing crank and twin 36 webers. The car was bought in 1969 by my Uncle for round about R1600, brand new.
Sorry for the quality of the pics, no fancy digital camaras back then.

The colours may work for Bugger, one could see him better at 250kph, but the tail might just make him the second Mark Schuttleworth

I use to fantasize about having a bug like the white one. :oops: Sadly I never had enough money to buy one.
A place called Imparts in the cape used to sell the kit. I only saw one in the flesh in 1990. Actually look great.
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.
