Looking for a '73 or earlier v.w. bug or dependable car

Hello,
I recently lost my car due to a scamming mechanic who got sued for it and lost. Now I need new wheels. I'd like to get back into a bug as they have always been good to me and really can't afford spendy computerized cars.
You see... I'm an old fart hippy now on disability pay. Its a fixed income with little if that to save.
I won $1726.50 from small claims suit. I can... when I get it... Can afford $1500. and will use the rest to travel to bug and drive back to Oregon.
I'm not asking for any help or favors... Just want a good car like a bug that will last me a few years with-out having to put hundreds of dollars I don't have into it. Please e-mail me at: hempypad@yahoo.com
Thanks Everyone. ~peace~

well theres a couple to wet your palat, I'd sell you mine but my neverending love and worship for the insect I just couldn't part with it, not even for a million dollars, its my bug, no one elses and no other bug in all their own glory can ever be a viable replacement. Good luck to you sir in your search for a mechanized companion.

 

Okay... Thanks for ALL your help people...
I found a nice bug <finally>
It's a 1971 super beetle... First super made with duel port and better front end.
Here's a pic of her... going to name her Jane.

Thanks again everyone for great help...
