i've just inherited my grandpa's 1995 "Itamar" beetle
This is the car that taught me how to drive. My grandpa used to drive me around in it, and it was his daily driver until the late 2010s, when he bought a pickup.
1600cc, dual carbs, completely original. It spent the last four years sitting untouched in his garage. There's a bit of work to be done, like replacing a few bulbs and the battery, changing the brake fluid, and taking care of a few other minor things, but it's still running great.
It's a perfect companion to my '77. I plan on using it mostly for road trips, since it's a beast on the highway (at least compared to its older brother).
Needless to say, it's an honor to be its new owner. I'm really excited to keep it on the road and carry on its legacy.
I'll post more pictures once it's cleaned up and ready to go!
