The car is far from perfect, but It’s not a basket case either. It was a good deal at the time, and the car has solid floors and heater channels. These were a big selling point for me. The front end of the car though, is another story. I needs a lot of work. As I write this right now, the car is sitting at a family friends body shop awaiting repair. I can’t wait to drive it.

The car has seen 2 different motors so far. I decided to build the motor that is currently in the car. That motor is a 1641cc. I was a novice when it came to acvw engine building, so he short block was assembled by a great Louisville area acvw mechanic by the alias of Dr. Bob. I decided to tackle the rest of the motor, and I finished up the motor in the next few weeks. Well, that motor sat out for a while.

October of 2005, I purchased a parts car. At the time it was not intended to be a parts car. The car was a running driver, with some bad floors, but that was not a huge concern as I could patch those for a while. Well, the title situation on the car became sort of odd, so I decided to make the car a parts car. I took the good running motor out of the car, and had it in my super within a few hours.

I drove the super for about a week with this motor, but the motor was showing its age, and then I encountered some carb problems, so I parked the car. The car sat pretty much untouched during the rest of 06, until March 2007. I purchased a set of 35mm Solex carbs, (SCAT kit) and installed them. The car is now sitting with these carbs, and I have yet to tr to start the car with them on it. I plan to send the car to Dr. Bob for him to tune the dual carbs, as I will admit I am not too great with one carb, much less 2 of them. I am learning more about them everyday though, so don’t get too worried. Thats a little to get you started about me, I will have more to post later. Until then. Peace!
