Project 66 Beetle

It has been just over 2 years since I sold my last VW to fund the down payment on my home. As is usual for me, I can only go for so long without a VW before I start getting the itch. Once I get the itch, I start to look. By that time, it’s all over. Inevitably, I will convince myself that I have the time to bring a car (usually a project) into my busy life.

Needless to say, I put a down payment on a Ruby Red 66 bug a few weeks ago which I will be bringing home in a couple more weeks. All at the same time that I am working to build my new business, selling our lake home in Belfair WA, and moving back to Port Angeles, WA.

I am really pleased with the car that I found, especially since the previous owner, Penee, has the same love for VW’s that I do. Additionally, this will also be a labor of love since I will be picking up the pieces of a project that she and her brother started many years ago, but were never able to finish. I plan to share my experiences as I work on this project and hopefully share a bit of the car’s history.

I fell in love with air-cooled Volkswagens over 30 years ago. I want to keep the love and passion for vintage VW's alive and share my stories with others.
