Title: Totally non scooter related.
Post by: AMAC1680 on October 10, 2017, 12:12:26 PM: Wish we had a off topic forum but anyhow hereâ€™s a couple of pics from my other obsession.
I know there's a few other Air-Kooled Junk guys on here so what they heck.

Manx on the Banx 2017

Took two up this year.
The red â€œAdventure Buggyâ€ Iâ€™ve had for ever.
Just finishing up the street Manx Kick-out build.

Is the curved windscreen on your street buggy from a Super Beetle?
When I went from a '71 to the '73 Super Beetle with the new curved windshield. ...I couldn't imagine ever needing a bigger car!
....then along came 6 children..so bought the Transporter.
Nice looking pair you have.

Yes sir good eye. Itâ€™s a super shield.
The street buggy is actually a new build. I had a bunch, some may say an infestation, of bugs in various stages of decay. Sold off most kept the best and one chassis to shorten and ordered a kit last winter.

In essence a new build from ground up. Mildly built 1776 @ 80hp.
Itâ€™s nice but doesnâ€™t have the personality of the red buggy.

Iâ€™d love to do a bus but that gets $$$.

Yep, big $....he's been working on it for 25 yrs. Wife keeps nagging him to sell it. He did off sell what had to be the best USA collection of old tin VW Transporter toys. Many were worth an amazing amount of $$. His living room was like a museum of pricey little VW's. Ebay was very good to and for him...and toy shows in LA and Chicago.
