Nicole Johnson's Detour - John Reynolds 73 1303 Custom

Other People’s Cars – John Reynold’s 73 1303 Sleeper

Posted on 2021-05-15

So I’m letting YouTube serve me up some random stuff this morning and I came across a channel I have not watched before called Nicole Johnson’s Detour and more specifically, and episode titled SLEEPER BUG: 517 WHP Subaru-Powered 1973 VW Super Beetle. Now I’m a purist in many ways, going so far as to not…

Other People’s Cars – Jason Swan’s 1303 Cabriolet, Part 2

Posted on 2020-05-272020-05-27

I posted about Jason’ Swan’s amazing metallic orange 1303 cabriolet way back in December 2018. It is truly one of those rare beasts in which every decision he’s made to the car works perfectly with every other choice, be it a mod, a color here or there, a pattern in something. Just perfection. He recently…

Ade Prakasa's 1973 1303 Beetle

Other People’s Cars – Ade Prakasa’s 1973 1303 Beetle

Posted on 2020-04-27

I recently saw this car posted on the FB groups and it is quite a nice one.       It looks like it is super charged. I’m not really familiar with this general setup.  

Damn was I off! $52,800.00???

Posted on 2020-01-20

So last week I went through the auction docket for Barret-Jackson Scottsdale 2020 and predicted that one triple-white 79 vert would go for $20K. Oh my god how wrong I was! It crossed the block at $52,800.00! That’s like mind-blowing to me. Yes it was very low miles. Yes it was in excellent condition. But…

Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale this week!

Posted on 2020-01-122020-01-12

So this week is Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. Let’s see what’s up and coming on the block to see how people bid. There’s a crap ton of VW’s so many it is hard to comment on them all. Some ones I’ll be interested in following the sale on… 1972 VW Beetle Custom – No reserve. I don’t…

I try very hard to be nice… but…

Posted on 2020-01-112020-01-11

On the whole, I try to be very open-minded with custom work done on cars, especially air-cooled VW Type 1 and Type 2 vehicles. But sometimes I come across for sale posts where the custom choices made are literally what is probably holding the car from sale, or the choices are definitely going to contribute…

Sunset Classics - Minnesota

Other People’s Cars – Sunset Classics

Posted on 2019-10-21

I have to admit I love wasting time at Sunset Classics, a consigner of all kinds of classic cars, with quite a past and present inventory of VWs. I love the fact they leave the galleries up of their sold cars which contains many many many pics per vehicle from all different angles. It really…

Żuczek 2025 – The rear pop outs!

Posted on 2019-10-202019-10-20

So one of the people in the Super Beetles Only! group on Facebook shared a picture of the installation of one of his pop-out rear windows on his newly painted body and it is exactly the look I’m going for with the set I bought. They will be dechromed and painted black and top coated…

Project Żuczek – Finally a car evoking the color combinations I’ve been thinking about!

Posted on 2019-10-062019-10-06

So as you’ve probably read I’m constantly back and forth as to the color direction of where I want Project Żuczek to head in. My original plans reached back to 2017 when I acquired the now absent Yellow as the source of my project dreams and was trying to recreate a version of my mother’s…

Other People’s Cars – Wilhelmo Paulina’s 1975 Euro 1303 Beetle

Posted on 2019-07-15

I saw Wilhelmo Paulina post about his car the other day and I forgot how truly beautiful it is. The Euro-style bumpers with the embedded turn signals has grown on me a lot since this style was never stock in the US. Turn signals were always on the fenders in most years of US import….
