I would look for a pre 1968 beetle with swing armd rear suspension.

You can go on the samba and find alot of shit used and new as well in the for sale forums.

I guess it all depends on what you want out of your beetle.

If you want it on the ground talk to me.   

Not sitting on the ground.

 

i really love squarebacks, but they are harder to find, and at this point in time i just really want to do a beetle, i think after the beetle i will do a squareback and then a bus. 

that bug is hot, but i actually want to build it from a pile of shit... if that makes sense.

basically i want the same thing out of all my cars, look good, decent power and just overall fun to drive.  with a beetle, i want it literally on the ground, dragging everywhere.... maybe a 2110 or bigger eventually...fat girl style wide fenders....

im going to look at a 65 on tuesday.... here is the link.  http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=439827

maybe a good starting point, dude called today and is pretty cool, said the car is pretty solid.

eventually... until i can afford (and know what im doing) bigger power i want it slammed.... when i get the bigger motor i'll lift it up a little bit more.  it's pretty cool, my old man started looking on the internet for bugs today, and now wants to fix our old dune buggy too....

ps... the snapriot wallpaper of your car is my current desktop for inspiration nuno... what wheels are those, and would you mind me biting your style by rocking them?

consider them ordered....

whoa, what the fuck does he have? a manx?
