1993 Cobra Registry

Hey all... well i just wanted to share this little story..

when i was 14 while attending car shows with my grandfather, i wanted a nice little project to get my feet wet in restoring a car and learning the basics of body work, interior add on stuff, detailing, etc...

so i purchased a 72 VW Super beetle when i was 14.. sold it at 17. made a 3 grand profit. and had fun doing it. Won multiple car shows, and was featured in VW TRENDS magazine.

well i sold it to a fellow in tilton NH who he owned it for 13 years now.. until this happend. This was his letter telling me its totaled.




RIP my first show car

that aint dead , get the front end aligned , keep driving.

he said it would be $6K to fix... i sure wouldnt put that $ into a vw... just saying.

6k by a BIG bodyshop or insurance estimation, go to a mom and pop shop or do it yourself and probably less than half.
