Im looking for an old bug that hasnt been restored or customized, because I want to do that myself. I live in Florida and Im having a hard time finding one. It would have to run and drive as i would probably end up driving it until i got a different car and then I would start tearing into it. Basically for the time being, it would be my daily driver to replace my Geo Storm and then an eventual show car and weekend driver.
It has always been sort of a dream of mine to have an old vee-dub and make it a really sweet show car and weekend driver. Any input is always appreciated.

GO on line VW clubs wrecking yards many gulf state cars have rusted floor boards rust belt cars have rusted everything. Your knowledge of VW must be up to the task serial number in the frame back bone under the rear seat has to match the body many got different body's and many cannot be titled because they were stolen. Texas inland Arizona southern California and New Mexico dry climate ruins the replaceable rubber parts but the body work isn't rusted thru except there under the battery. 12 volt cars after 1967 are more desirable. 1968 had soft engine cases and studs holding the cyls pulled out loosening the cyl heads. dual port engines had problems in heat cracking cly heads. More stylish than a metro but very unsafe by today's standards 10 gallons of fuel right in your lap and relatively no structure up front on on the sides,

Look in Hemmings Motor News, the Auto Trader and/or similar magazines. Check the newspaper for sale ads. Look at College bulletin boards, supermarket bulletin boards,
used car dealerships, collector and/or antique dealerships, etc. Just keep an eye open - there have been millions of VW bugs produced and many, if not most, are still available, many of which have not been "molested". Good luck!
