Love reading this thread. Mine was a '60 VW bug that had been totaled in '70 and my dad's customer gave it to us. I rebuilt a motor for it. I forget the displacement but remember it had a whopping 36bhp!!! Those were air cooled flat fours with push rods back then. They were easy to push start. Even with a date sitting inside. lol

Anybody recall the scene in "Sleeper" when Woody Allen finds a 200 year old VW in a cave??
