You need to find some vintage racing suits and a Buddy Hackett look-alike, then you'll be set!

Sort of like this but not on air bags



This one is an oval window but I'm going for anything pre '67. If I can pick up a zwitter for a song then I would get it(but that would probably never happen)
I think I can speak for some of us older guys on site. We would like to get some of what we are seeing in the picture as well.

If you haven't already, I would join thesamba.com, probably the best forum for ACVW's

Welcome to the world of air cooled, a world of inexpensive parts, spectacular support in forums and enthusiasts with lots of entertaining shows, and fun zippy little cars that everyone loves.
I had a 74 ghia for a while. I had people following me miles to find out what it was, or how old it is. Plus these old VWs are compact and easily stashed.

x2 on the samba,

rag top is an easily added aftermarket part, UNLESS adding one to an original car really destroys the value of it. Im not sure, he has to research.

Im thinking about a rag top in my benz personally, there are tons of versions out there
