Well guys...I'll be starting a new thread soon, but this one is going to be closed. I spent the last week returning the car to stock form. Engine, interior, trunk are all factory. I've left the black trim, the lowered stance and the disc brakes on the car...as per the request of it's new owner.

The '69 will be retiring into a life as a marketing tool for a local real-estate agent. While I have enjoyed it immensely, it was always a 'test-bed' for what I really wanted. Compromised by a need to be both performance and daily driver, it was never going to be as "hard core" as I wanted. The car actually won't be sold until the end of the month, but after driving it for a day in it's stock form I realized it's no longer "my car". I drove it over to the new owner's house today, and parked it in their garage.

We had a fantastic run together. We still hold the record for fastest stock beetle in the Vegas Beetleball, but it's time to move on. At least I'll get to see the car around town.
