That is sad. My mom has a '75 Beetle. We loved it. Always loved Beetles (the original Herbie movies and all... punch buggies). My younger brother owned two, years later (a 1960 and a 1962, one of 'em Wolfsburg). I always loved the Neon front end because of the retro look of the lights. There was a C-class Mercedes in the 00s that had a similar headlight shape. Loved that look too, and I almost never like Mercedes.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
