Seen that pic a few times here. I’m just jealous ‘cause I don’t have a pic of mine. Mine was a ‘68 with 53hp.

How did the heater work?
One of my uncles had one in the 70`s, and the heater sucked. It was colder in the car with the heater on than outside

You know, I don't remember. Probably sucked.

I'm from SoCal, though and probably didn't use it much, if at all.

Guess what I actually keep in my glove box for morning drives in the 77?

A portable heater?

Too bad you don't have a shot of your VW. Damn, 53hp. I wouldn't want to race you!

You've seen this shot of my VW on here a few times because 1) it's the only pic I have of that car and 2) Due to my advanced years, I can never remember what I previously posted.

Second reason is probably a candidate for the "you know you're old when" thread. My wife tells me I tell the same stories over again too.

And probably most importantly...

You look very proud of your Bug in that pic.

PS - yeah, I could just see us now, racing down the street in our 40hp and 53hp Bugs. We'd be just a blur to the naked eye.

It actually worked okay, at least in a moderate climate. I lived at the beach in Southern California at the time so the heater never really got tested.

I look proud in that photo for a really good reason. The photo was taken by a girl I had just met. It was our first date. I was on Cloud 9. No other girl had turned my head the way she did. I'll have to look her up on The Google and find out what happened to her. Wait, I remember. We ended up getting married 5 years later and we are still together after all of these years!


Regarding racing our bugs, you wouldn't have had a chance. My custom headers were so loud you would have just backed off and crawled away in fear.

I dunno, I had a pretty nasty sounding aftermarket exhaust.

Lets just call it a draw.

Maybe this car was the design inspiration.
