VW's I've owned in the past


1973 Super Beetle (my first VW). When I bought it, it had just finished a body off restoration. The car was flawless, probably better than new. I bought this car in 1988 and wrecked it in 1997.

1970 Camper

1984 Scirocco

1986 Scirocco 16V

1990 Corrado

1963 Deluxe 23 Window Bus (ragtop)

inside the 63 Bus

wish I'd kept this thing

bought this one from a junkyard back in the early 90's, was soon to be crushed. Sold it to a couple of bus enthusiasts.

this one also came from the junkyard. Someone obviously had been trying to restore it. He had done most of the bodywork, I didn't find any new goodies in it though. This one was also close to going to the crusher when I got it. Sold it to a guy from the cable company who noticed part of it sticking out from behind my house.

I bought this Ghia from a guy that had restored it and his son wrecked it. I wound up trading this car for a 74 bus (see next pic) from another VW enthusiast. This car has been repaired and is currently on the road again.

This is the bus I traded for with the wrecked Ghia. Soon after sold it to a guy needing a work vehicle.

This is a 57 Oval project I had for a year or so. Sold it to a man who plans to professionally restore it for his grandson.

I owned this 70 Ghia from 1996 to 2006. Recently sold it a girl in Greensboro who fell in love with it and intends to restore it. You can follow its progress at
