I purchased my 1972 Volkswagen Beetle in 2016 and had it completely resprayed in 2017.  Every year after that adding more upgrades until I completed it to become a complete replica of the Herbie Love Bug.

It has a 1.6cc engine.

I have used my Herbie to help raise money for lots of different charities and causes.

Herbie, the Love Bug is a sentient 1963 Volkswagen Beetle racing car which has been featured in several Walt Disney motion pictures starting with The Love Bug in 1969. He has a mind of his own, being capable of driving himself and often becoming a serious contender in auto racing. Throughout most of the films he is distinguished by red, white, and blue racing stripes from the front to the back bumper, a pearl white body, a racing-style number “53” on the front luggage compartment lid, doors, engine lid, and a yellow-on-black 1963 California license plate with the registration “OFP 857”.
