VW 1302 Owner's Register/USA

'72 1302 S
Corvette yellow
Peter Perez, Fairfield, CA

This was my first VW purchased in '85. It was already lowered
with the Riviera rims and came with a 1600dp running dual Kadrons.
I had it de-chromed and painted from its original Texas Yellow
to a '79 Corvette yellow with a touch of gold pearl in the clear coat.
Then came a 2016cc with dual Weber 40s' and a four point roll bar.
I sold it minus the motor in '89.

'72 Baja Champion SE
Marathon Metallic
Larry Rambach, Florida

...no permanent, irreversible modifications have been done to the car and...
...hopefully it will look as good as WCM's unregistered car... ...I have tried to keep it
stock, and it will be 100% stock (except maybe hydraulic valves in engine)
once I get it restored... ...I am led to believe it did not receive the optional accessories
because it came without the driving lights, or the white 'Baja' stripe on the side.
It had the factory radio with the City/Country setting and AM/FM option... ...built 5.72.

112 2154 312, Pink (org. Willow Green)
Lauren Bailey, Gainesville, FL

Pink May Beetle

I wanted to add my baby to your registry.... her name is 'Goober'.
She was my first car, I bought her in September of 1997. The only modification
I have made to her so far is converting her over to an alternator.
She used to be an automatic stick shift, but somewhere along the way
someone put in a manual transmission and a 1300cc single port engine.
She was born October the 6th 1971 and moved to the USA on October 18 1971.
Her original color was Willow Green, but has since been painted pink and black...
she is awaiting restoration along with her 5 brothers and sisters
that she lives here with. You can see them all at www.vwfamily.cjb.net

Doanne's ride

My car is currently under restoration. I acquired it from
the original owner last year for the sum of $350.00.
It has the original engine which has very good compression.
I plan on leaving her mostly stock but adding a Hurst shifter
and maybe a BugPack cam and a couple of other things.

'Annabel'

I have just recently acquired 'Annabelle'. She is going to need
some restoration, which I will be having done this fall and winter.
I obtained her 'birth certificate' from the Stiftung Auto Museum,
so here is what I know: Options: M128: white wall tires, built on:
December 7, 1971; left factory on: December 14, 1971, destination:
USA. It appears the engine was replaced somewhere along the line,
with a model from 1974. Engine number (original): AE 706 594,
47 bhp, 1.6 liter. Engine number (current): AH 371 444,
?? bhp, 1.6 liter.
