Went for a bit over $140k on auction. Out of my league, but it’s clean.

Ya, that's ridiculous. No fucking way it makes it up any significant hill. I just had camp gear and 4 dudes in mine and had to push it over a steep section of Sonora Pass.
Yes, all this nostalgia for scarcely-functioning vehicles that, despite how much time and money you put into them, they will still be Just A Volkswagen. I definitely pushed mine further than I drove it, and I drove it a very long ways . . . all the way back to CA from southern Louisiana in 3rd gear, 4th having dropped off somewhere near Amarillo on the way south to go offshore. I bought the thing in Sonora, and I never tried to come back there over the pass, having already not made it up from the east side on my 350 honda (passenger had to walk, she was pissed). They used to have those ads, It's not a car, it's a Volkswagen, and truer words were never spoken.
so true.... been fighting a odd right blinker issue for 3 weeks. real fast blink one time then nothing. then fuses started to go so knew I had a short. finally traced it down to a frayed wire for the rear plate illumination and bad splices. found some melted wires from a piss poor splice for trailer lights so got those replaced.
I pulled all the ac items since was missing the compressor and the 2 liter can barely get out of its own way on a good day with the wind at your back.
next up is tracing why blower does not work.

Happy to look it over if any mags are interested. And yes, that’s the Beatles logo painted on the side.

^ Good one.
Anyone buy a ticket for that tesla powered 66 split window? Thing is dialed with sound system and disc brakes. Between the E motor and discs it should stop so thats a nice upgrade from the og splities
