Growing up we were a Ford family but always had a VW as a 2nd car. I learned to drive on a manual trans 63 bug. My 3 yr older brother had managed to dent 3 of the 4 fenders, so I quickly looked for a car to rebuild for my own. We found a 70 Mach 1 that was hit in the rear that we rebuilt. But the VW was a great car to learn on.

A few yrs later dad bought an orange 71 Type III with the auto-manual. That car would be worth some money today.
