'72 Beetle. It would flat climb a wall but was lively in a cross wind. A neighbor was a VW fan and had raced stock cars. He helped me bolt a transmission cooler and scoop to cool the oil and a filter was in line...neither things did a VW Beetle have normally. Being a teenager I pranged it good and my Dad took it to bolt a MG kit onto it. It was a hoot watching him tool down the alley on a chassis sitting on a milk crate with a gallon jug as a gas tank.

He finished it in Florida after his retirement. A few months later a seat spring broke, shorted the battery and caused it to burn to the wheels.

I miss my car and my Dad.
