You don't need to be a hippie to own a Volkswagen Campervan. 
The prices are a bit daunting i'll give you that, but as with so many things in life, if you put your mind and effort in it, you will reap a reward - bargins are still out there to be had.
........................................
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...?
Here's another variation on a fantastic theme. If you own a VW Campervan, Beetle or any model, then find us on facebook and be a part of our ever growing online veedub community.
Yes, it's a VolksWagen - The VW Karmann Ghia
Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia performance and price reflected the values VW placed in its cornerstone product, the Beetle.
VW insisted the Karmann-Ghia's performance mirror that of the humble Bug. The Karmann-Ghia had a much smaller frontal area than the Beetle, and the originals could hit a top speed of around 72 mph, maybe 10 mph higher than the sedan. Acceleration was no faster: Both cars could consume up to 36 seconds reaching 60 mph from a stop.Although built in numbers, the Karmann Ghia was never turned out in vast mass-produced quantities and so remains quite rare. Though over 460,000 (including around 81,000 Cabriolets) were built during its 19-year lifespan, this is dwarfed when compared with the million plus vw Beetles turned out in the 1961 year alone.
Having trouble with your 1969 VW Beetle electrical wiring?
We can help. We recently met up with a fellow veedubber Iain, who came to the rescue with helping out on the very own Classic Volks 1969 vw Beetle by not only diagnosing 
a fault with the braking, but also fixing it. Now as this is a vw Beetle we are talking about, not surprisingly, one thing led to another and we then found ourselves faced with a faulty oil light issue as well; but Classic volks would never recommend that you interfere with the vw electrical system as there is a high risk of creating a fire hazard - instead we let the experts at DubTricks help us out. You can find contact information from their website.

Engines please...
Volkswagen Type 181
Popularly known in the UK as the 'Trekker', in the USA as the 'Thing' and in Mexico as the 'Safari' they started life as a small military vehicle produced from 1969 - 1983.
We've read that about 90,000 of these got built, mostly in Germany and Mexico. Bit of trivia for ya...the Body Style was typically a 4-door cabriolet, the engine is in the rear, and most engines were either 1.5 or 1.6L with a 4 speed manual transmission. The volkswagen Type 181 has a greater ride height compared to many of its relatives and features whats known as a 'portal axle'.
