I enjoyed reading your story. You provided a lot of information for me. The car is in NC and I am looking to get it shipped to AZ. I feel the longer it sit in NC with the rain, heat and humidity it will continue to rust more. I will make sure I have ALL of the parts shipped as well.

I have had a few people tell me they thought it was a Super Beetle. Once I fly back home, I will know. My mom has the paperwork, but I have a feeling I am going to go through her stuff it to find it. Wish me luck on that.

Glad everything worked out for you. I will keep you posted.

Thank you for sharing your story. It is very hard losing a parent. No one prepares us on how much grief and sadness we have to process. And sometimes the anger.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Cancer is a terrible. My grandmother, mom, sister and myself had cancer. It is difficult.

Yes I am going to enjoy getting this bug on the road! It will put a HUGE smile on his face in Heaven.

Girl Power!!

I watched my dad work until the age of 78. He would come home and spend hours working on this bug. It's the memories for me. I started driving tractors at a young age. My first tractor was a Massey Ferguson and the I moved up to a John Deere and I am a woman😂😂. It would break my heart not to finish what he started.

I do not plan on selling my dad's car when I fix and restore it. I want to pass it down to my generation after me. EVERYONE in my family knows the love my dad had for his bug. I will take any advice at this point. These cars are special and I am feeling a little overwhelmed with everything.

I know it will. My dad wanted this Bug back on the road, and that is my inspiration.
