Im thinking of getting a 1970s beetle cos they are pretty cool. Has anyone got any experience with living with one?
I agree with you. At this time I own 3 (2 Beetles and 1 Super Beetle). Contrary to what others have said in response to your question let me fill you in on a couple things. You can pick up a good running (old) Beetle for less than $3000.00 Because it is a Icon, like a Mustang or a Camaro, there are plenty of new and improved parts as well as used parts available. They don’t make them anymore. They do have heaters. Airflow is not a problem. They are air cooled, just like the Porsche, and most aircraft, and Harley’s and tanks. They are simple to work on. They are light weight so if you do minor modifications to the engine you get an awesome return. They are not as good on gas as you might expect. However with a couple slight mods you can get up to 40 mpg. On the other hand you can easily get a 12 second car that is street drivable. Lowering kits, lift kits, disk brakes, air bag suspension are all available. Best bet is to get a Dune-Buggies & Hot VW’s magazine and look through it to get
