Of course, I know nothing about restoration, so I'd probably have to spend a few more bucks on one that runs and/or in good shape. When I lived in Germany, my dad drove them by preference. Nothing like the smell of gas fumes coming into the cabin. Took some longer trips in it, too. I'd just want it to putz around in.
I remember the old VW's with the pipe like rear bumpers. During the winter as kids we would skitch (at a stop sign we snuck up held on to the back of cars in the snow) The VW's bumpers were always a treat to us, we could hold on to those for blocks at a time. If I saw a kid doing that today I'd probably call the police ASAP. Boy were we stupid as kids back then, but it was a heck of a lot of fun.
