it was earlier 70's and green. Was green a stock color? It looked closer to a forest green though?

We've been talking about getting another form of transport to take Phred off the road until he's completely re-done so this would help. I am thinking probably end of summer sometime. FTR I had a dream about two weeks before we bought Phred.

A type I is a nice 'change up' from driving a bus all the time. I've had this one for more than 15 years. Nice little summer driver and real easy on gas. If you can find one cheap, I would make the dream a reality.

Woot! Three hours from me! Alas, I have no three thousand pieces of gold.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue, I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace. Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod, The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Hiya vwlover,

WooHoo! As a long time AS driver I have to say that little green Bug definitely looks as if it has possibilities. A very nice project car.
I have cancer.

It does not have me.
