Any VW Bug guys out there?

We have had a couple VW Beetles in the family. My parents still have a cream puff in their garage with under 20,000 miles. Original paint is fantastic. Really turns heads. I bought a 73 Super Beetle 20+ yrs ago as a driver. Started a restoration and it fizzled out. Lately, I have been getting the bug fever again. Currently searching the interwebz looking for the right project. Might go look at a couple tomorrow. Anyone have one? Had one? Funny stories about them?

I can tell you a few but don't want to incriminate myself.

Let me know if you have any desire to part with the engine Frank. Just needs to turn free.

Several years ago I acquired a new old stock dunebuggy body. Fiberglass body never installed. Guessing from the 70's but can't find any badges of brand or tags with serial numbers. I know it was never installed because these shells were generally drilled and built per project. Drill for seat placement. Drill for mounting of lights, etc. I need to do some homework. If this was a Manx body. . . . It could fetch thousands. Long shot it is a Manx. Still has to be worth what I paid for it. It is on the third tier of pallet racking up in the rafters of one of our buildings awaiting the right project or future owner.
