I've been wanting to retrofit semaphores onto my '66 Bug for years now. Adding the wiring and solenoids, making holes for them in the B pillars, etc. has just seemed like too much of a pain in the neck on a car where I'm trying to simplify and add lightness, though.

My concern about having CARB make it "worth it" is that they then go and do stuff like this:

If you'll spot me 31cc (for 1131cc), I'd say Schwimmwagen.

I can haz Porsche 912?

Not quite a barn find, but close. One of the guys in the Type 3 Club down in San Diego was looking to find good homes for his Squareback and Fastback. Neither had moved in around eight years, and his health wasn't the greatest anymore, so he wasn't going to be getting them back up and running anymore.

Interstate's a good suggestion, actually. It's not likely, since they've been on the up-and-up when I've dealt with them, but you never know what someone's tried sending their way lately.

Posted a link to this article on our club's Facebook page (San Diego Aircooled Syndicate) and our radio show's page (Syndicate Motorsports Show). I'll give you a mention Saturday on our next show, too, and keep an eye out at the shows down here and around San Diego.

Had one for 16 years. Admittedly, I got it from a junkyard in the first place, but I'd simply picked up where the other guy had left off in a constant battle to keep it from rusting away to nothing, despite being in San Diego, which isn't *quite* the City that Rust Forgot, but isn't usually bad. Finally ended up…

It's making me reconsider my dislike of sand beige. Given that I have to repaint my '66, and that was the original color...

Sadly, that's where I'm falling on this one, too. I've seen conversions done for the same price that are far cleaner and better. I get the impression he was going for a rat rod, but it kind of came off half-assed.

A Chevy small-block?! What do you think this is, a '32 Ford rebuild? o.O

The Morris Marina?

No fun. Full of eels.

My '66 has a 2054cc, and gets about 120 HP. I've seen the Type 4 block used in the later Busses and the Porsche 914 bumped up all the way to 2733cc and 250 HP.

I use an A2107 on the dash of my '66 Bug in this role. It's fantastic.

The entire tablet's not stainless steel, just the ring around the edge. Front bezel appears to be glass still, and the back's a matte plastic.

>>You seem to be arguing more in favor of the "Better, regardless of price" crowd (aka. "a fool and his money soon part.")<<

So, lower resolution than the Nexus 7, slower CPU, no NFC, no GPS, older version of Android, with its only distinctive feature being arguably better speakers and printing? From a company that's perfected the art of being their own worst enemy?

So, Caddy (GM) in your headline, El Camino (GM) and Chevy truck (GM) in the body of your article, but VW Beetle (not GM) dashboard?

Doesn't need to be Jezebel to mention that the Godaddy commercial was a steaming pile of dogshit.
