    I saw an orange SB going down Del Mar in the opposite direction in San Diego. I don't know if it's any help. I busted a U, but I lost it.

    Sold in summer of 1994 in North Georgia. Can't find the bill of sale
    Would love to see it again and have a shot at getting it back depending on condition.

    Dang.... Well the search continues, but I'm really thinking about buying another rep for now, but I will always want hers if I can. Figure I could spend my whole life looking for it (Which is fine), but I could buy one that reminds me of it and enjoy it for the rest of my life. Even if I do find her's, you can never have too many VW in the drive right!! I mean I already have 3

    This is probably the best solution. Like you said, it could literally take your entire life to find that beetle. Find one (maybe a close vin# so you can call it a bro or sis.) that looks and feels the part and go for it. And always keep that eye peeled.

    Yea, I'm looking for a bug now. I'm pretty picky, so it's going to take some time.

    If I could only find a nice slammed (Bags would be nice) orange bug around here. LOL. I know some people don't like them slammed, but I think it looks good if done right. I don't care really about the year for there's not much different in them. Figure any orange bug will do the job. Anyone off hand know what a paint job would run on the bugs, I'm talking about a color change. I found a lot of bugs I like, but they aren't orange.. No one seems to like orange for some reason...

    I know this is a long shot, maybe more of a possibility for the guy in Atlanta looking for his, but there is a bright orange beetle at a shop in Blairsville, Ga, which is close to the border with nc, I don't know anything about it, I saw it today as we were passing through. I can find the information for the shop if one of you wants it.

    The shop was called Arne's. The number is (706) 745-4633. I don't know much about these beetles, so I couldn't tell you what year it is. But, I think it is someone's project or parts car.

    Yea, it's hard to even find a Orange beetle I like. I'm probably going to find a nice one and color change it. Going suck to tear down a perfectly good bug to do a color change, but it's got to be done. My moms was a 73, but that's not the year I really care for and when I was younger I couldn't tell you the different in any Type I bug...LOL. The 73 super beetle interior doesn't nothing for me (memory), just the Orange color and or course the AC motor...LOL. I would really would like a ragtop. Found plenty of them, but there not local or asking too much for my wallet. Thanks for looking out, wish I could return the favor some day if I can...
