Hello all - First of all, this might not belong in the Vehicles subforum, but then again it might - it is about a fossil-fueled car, after all.
About 25 years ago, when my boys were young, Matt, a good friend who didn't have children, gave me one of his childhood toys, a Cox VW Beetle with a 0.49" gas motor. I would guess it's from around 1970 or earlier. It had not run in many years at that point, and life was too busy for me to put any time into it.
Unfortunately, Matt had been a Type 1 diabetic since early childhood, and passed away in 2000. He was an excellent friend, and I still miss him.
I dug this car out of the garage attic yesterday, and would really like to see it go to a good home.
It's yellow with a red stripe, which I think was as it came from the factory.
I'd be glad to send it to anyone who'd be interested, for the cost of shipping.
Cheers
