Hi,
I bought that car in the late fall of '60 just before or after my 15th birthday. Drove it for a couple of years, and in January '63 went off the road and wrapped it around a tree in a mountain goat rally. Replaced it with a Renault Dauphine that I flipped street racing. Also had a '61 Beetle that was my "street" machine and went a quarter of a million miles on three engines and two transmissions.
I have (had?) a tendency to drive cars hard and they tend to break. I don't have a picture of any of the cars I've owned.
