Perry’s Pride
Perry Meade has worked on Saturn cars for a living out of Greenfield, IN for several years. However, one thing he always had an interest in was VW’s. In fact, he’s had the VW flu for some time now, 12 years to be exact. The list of the VW cars he has owned, previous to this sharp and squeaky clean 1965 Notchback,...
Black Banshee And The Story Of A Convertible
Everyone wants a Convertible; there’s no question. For most of us, it’s only the “wanting” part that we experience. We would all agree that owning our own Vert is a dream we would like to see realized. For Craig Churcher from Aylesbury, England, this dream is a reality. This 1965 Karmann Cabriolet was...
FreiFeurwehr
For its time period, one would be hard pressed to find a more utilitarian vehicle than the original Split-Screen Transporter. By the mid-50s, its versatility extended well beyond its intended role as a people and cargo mover. A host of sanctioned coachbuilders, including Meyer-Hagen, Magirus and Bachert began transforming Buses...
Adrenaline Rush And One Fast Beetle
The need for speed! It’s like a horsepower-induced drug for the performance-minded, a full-fledged addiction satisfied when the forces of gravity pull your body deeper into the seat and your adrenaline switch is set at high.

Street Sweeper Clean
As I write this, I’m holding a quarter-mile time slip in my hand. The slip is from Atco Raceway, Atco, N.J., and is dated July 9, 2000. I’ll read a few numbers off the slip and you try to guess what kind of car made the run. 60-foot e.t.: 1.726 secs. 1/8-mile e.t.: 7.780 secs. 1/4-mile e.t.: 12.293 secs. Trap Speed:...
Oval Envy
Swap meets have started to quickly become almost as much a piece of the sweet vintage scene as the aircooled Boxer engine has become to be known. And hey, why not? The meets are the exact place you can able find rare O.E. or even hard to find aftermarket parts at affordable prices, anything you see from new headliners and...
Slow Lane
It now seems that these days are more and more full of people who would prefer a life in the strictly fast lane and avoid anything else. From what you get at fast food restaurants to fast and all out race cars, patience appears to be on the back burner and is no where to be found. This is not so in the case of the nice Fred...
Furiousfrid – Limited Wagon Fridolin
Talk about a strange bird. From the front, it could almost pass as a Type III sibling, while the rear has definitely some traits in common with Type IIs. The vehicle is called a Volkswagen Fridolin, a.k.a. Type 147, and came out of the Westfalia production line in fairly limited number–6139 to be precise. The majority...
