VWoodies enters 2009!


Shown in the photo is a vidcap from a video taken on February 16, 2009. This shows Senhor California's miniWOODIE in Brasil, shortly after receiving its new Brasilian 1600CC dual port motor. The 2188 we'd built for it wouldn't run reliably on 76-octane Brasilian gasoline.


Over the years, quite a few VW Beetle woodies have seen the light of day. Most are the handiwork of creative owner/builders. Some were actually manufactured in limited numbers, and still others were built from kits of parts or from plans in magazines such as "Popular Mechanics".



The mission of this Group and its SECOND sister Group, VWoodies2, is to bring together all the information we can find on these unique conversions, including photos and written material, for access of all members. Stevenson Projects VWoodies like the one above, along with Senhor California's miniWoodie design, Type 3 adaptations, and other variations, are covered in great detail in this group and VWoodies2 (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vwoodies2). You should join BOTH groups to get a complete overview of the state of VWoodie conversions.



There is also a VWoodie section in the Yahoo! WOODIES group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/woodies), which welcomes your photos and posts, too.



Your pictures, reminiscences, and questions are welcome in this group. This is a RESTRICTED MEMBERSHIP group, due to YAHOO's inability or disinterest in controlling spam in their groups. Please fill out the usual form and tell me why you want to join. You will be quickly approved.--Senhor California
