Aircooled VW South Africa

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.

awesome!!!! i love whaltails!!!!but they dont make them anymore i want my bug like that oneday just modern colour and slamed on big mags.....

....and a Pioneer tape deck playing the A-team theme!

That Yellow Orange Red colour s were the 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

Well the sky is the limit

Here is a article about guys in the states with different views. It looks really good, if i may say so.

I use to fantasize about having a bug like the white one. 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.

It's known as Malholand or something like that, my 74 project beetle was purchaced with one of those kits, it looked real shit.
Only kept the wider rear fenders the rest whent into the bin, square lights
