"I LOVE MY CAR BECAUSE ... my father bought it new in 1973 and gave it to me when he quit driving at 90 years old (three years ago). I drove it up to its new home in Washington from Hollywood. When Flashback lived in Hollywood, she was often used in TV ads and movies. She still has a lot of spunk and is fun to drive."

I have a 73 super beattle that was my Dad's and now have given it to my son. What is your maintenance schedule and where do you find someone to work on these old babies.
