This is my 1970 Pink Bug. I purchased it in Oct. of 1984 just as the cold was starting to creep in to Minnesota. A female minister who previously was part of a commune in the mountains of the Reno area transferred to MN and found out about Bugs and cold temps. Anyway I was driving down the street and she was taping a For Sale sign in the window. My daughter was in high school and I had promised her a pink bug to drive to school so the deal was quickly done. The car had 185,000 on the original engine at the time of purchase. I painted it pink and my daughter started driving it to school on non-snow days and then work for 7-8 years.

Fast forward several years and my daughter moved, without the car, to Reno to live for a few years. The car went into storage at that time. In 2011 it was taken to my pole barn in northern MN, the Walker area, where it was cleaned up, wet sanded and polished, had the wheel hydro-dipped, got a new set of WW tires and several other updates. The car still has the original engine, which runs like a top, now with 226,000 miles on it. Maintenance gaskets and push rod tubes are all the engine work ever done other than valve adjustments and oil changes. Proof of what good maintenance will give you. The brakes have been completely redone but the chassis and suspension parts are all in great shape and original. There is not nor has there ever been a spot of rust on this car.
