Hi all,

Mr. Cronin's posting reminds me of a Hot VWs story about the Puebla,
Mexico-produced Beetles. One of the pictures was of a Wasserboxer
breadloaf driven off the assembly line.

Does anybody know anything about these H2O loafs from either Mexico or
Brazil? Do they have the same Digifant-equipped 2.1 boxers like we
have, or do they have dual carbs like the T4-equipped loafs from
72-74? Can these be registered in the U.S. as '79s? Last but not
least; are they prohibitively expensive?
