Well today's car show was washed out - by rain and work. I did sneak over to the show on my lunch break and found this 67 Kombi split window w/ deluxe side trim and sliding sunroof. Info said 1600 with dual carbs (53 hp and 78 torque). I've seen it at other local shows, but couldn't find the owner.




I also found this VW house on a back street not too far from my office. I've seen an older guy driving the Bug around town -pretty clean machine. The bus has the typical Michigan cancer -see why I drove all the way to Texas for my Bug.

That red/white bus looks clean! not sure 'bout the white/brown one though....

Yeah the spilt (the last year ) is pretty sweet; it's slighty slammed. The other is the typical "project" starting point in the Rust Belt.

You got it... 67 was the last year for split window buses

Tech question regarding the DLK site: Is it possible to post up Flip video on the site? It's a new office toy, so I'm not too familiar with file sizes (it shoots in HD). I'm sure there is a file size limit like photos.

I'm not even sure what a "Flip" video is, so my guess is "no." You can post embedded Youtube videos though...

Yeah, Flip is just the name of the digital recorder. I'm pretty sure I can post to YouTube with it. I'll try to shoot some video of a drive around my town - if the rain ever stops.

Very nice congrats.

I told my third-grader that I'd take her down to the bus stop in style today. It was 40 degrees, so the Bug was a little reluctant to fire and go this morning (kind of like me). The neighbors enjoyed the header/muffler combo at 7:55 a.m.

Of course, weather dude said no rain today - it did. Wipers, I don't need no stinking wipers ... just Rain-X and speed.

Will post some photos from the Auto Jumble Sunday down in the Warehouse District. Might be a few others flying the VW freak flag.

Looks like fun!

Did John tell you about the time driving to the 2009 Texas Classic in a Monsoon?
