tooquick260 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Local Orlando air cooled VW shop that has been there since 1973. Dad worked there from 1979 til 1982. Lots of cool stuff comes and goes. Here are a few pics i took. First is a 1970 beetle that was customized for a local radio celebrity. He had the shop hop it up enough to be a fun driver but reliable. He drove it for a few years and let it get in a little neglected state. He sold it back to the shop owner. This I am told is a car setup from the 70's. Dad said he even drove this back then. Has had many variations of motors. Currently running a 2 litre with a/c, its fast and it has modern comforts. Heated seats, real leather seats and much more. All under original paint. It is a 1966. Here is a pic of a 73 beetle with almost 600,000 miles. Owner of the shop uses as his daily. On its 3rd paint job. Drives this car all over the southeast. Has a/c as well. A/c is a custom job install job. Owner is working on the dual carbs. Said weather change messed with the idle settings. These are real drivers no trophy cars and not trailer queens. Owner operator does not own a water cooled car. Cool to see and meet people dad hung with 35 years ago!
