Thanks, man. I was paying to get it painted for the past few years and decided I needed to do it for a change.
I certainly did have that, and once upon a time did all my own repairs on the VW's I had. A '65, a '67' and a '68. My parents bought a '70 with automatic stick shift and I just shook my head and said no. You gotta take that to the shop for repairs. Worst VW? Anything with early fuel injection, like the VW squareback sedans.
...that shift thing was also in the Karman Ghia cars, no? "Automatic Shift" where you did have to go through the gears, but didn't need a clutch
Auto Shift nightmare for sure. I’ve had a 69 and a 68, but really love’n the 65! Also have a 71 Convertible Karmann Ghia…it’s still undergoing a full restoration. That’s my baby!
