Rusty, All, There's a guy here in Christchurch, New Zealand who uses his oval beetle as a beach buggy. You can imagine what all that salt water has done to that poor bug. I got my near mint '56 oval for US$ 800 at an auction here 3 years ago. I guess it is obvious why some people, your firewood guy and my beach guy, use these vehicles this way. So cheap, so easy to abuse. There's a '54 bus for sale here, stored, clean original. Any one want me to check into it for them? Gary Gibson
