1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle

I paid $500 for this car on Saturday, May 10, 2008.

These are the first pics I took of it.

It is running and driving. It needs a new clutch, a tune-up, and a few other things.

I'm going to use it as a daily driver.

I plan on painting it blue and black.

It is fun to drive, and its a pretty cool little car too.

I took it drag racing on May 14, 2008, and made it to the final round before losing. I ran a best of 22.79@57 mph. I had a fun time, and it was pretty neat to race.

This picture was taken in the semis. I was in the left lane, and got a better light, and had an easy win.

The Interior:

It's almost all original, and its in great shape. Everything works, except the ignition switch, but I hooked up a button start switch.

It's all stock still. But not for long.

Looks like a great project! I always wondered what a stock beetle would run in the 1/4!!!!! Check out my '73 Super.
