ROTFLMAO,
Come on, anyone who was there and owned one of these things KNEW you did NOT need a clutch to shift them!!!! Beetles were GREAT cars to teach people how to use a clutch back in the day so they did not burn up your big block 4 speeds!
Well, I guess except for Steve's slightly modified engines!!!!! When I was a kid, I used to work part time after school for a retired Ferrari race car driver who used to race for the factory team, retired and opened up a shop near my home..... He used to rebuild hopped up bug engines for the local kids, I will always remember once we got the engine and tranny combo unbolted from the frame, we would lift the entire rear end of the car up and over the engine and tranny combo!!!!!! So funny I could NOT believe it the first time I saw that done! This guy was a real piece of work!
John,Steve and David, thanks for sharing and bringing back great childhood memories!
