BUNOG: 1967 Bug

Miggy has been in the VW scene for a long time now. He has owned a family heritage late model beetle which sports chromed Sprintstars with knock-offs, a big engine, deck lid stand offs, stock seats and every little thing that’s EMPI. That bug now is part of their family’s memory lane. Sold for a reasonable amount, but the reason for selling is not that reasonable for some VeeDub nuts.

Years gone by and Miggy is without a VW on his garage. Drives a Japanese car for daily trips to work. But still the German heritage still haunts him in his dreams and the bug-friendly streets of Lipa. His long time friend gave him a tip about a ’67 bug waiting for an owner with a heart for German Steel.

Miggy worked hard day and night to keep the money coming in for this project to make it right the first time. It seems like he has a child in the ER waiting to be revived from a wicked accident. The numerous phone calls, busy weekends and lots of bills for the parts. This ’67 should be saved from its inevitable demise. After a long wait, this ’67 bug’s heart beats anew. Painted Jet Black, Nardi wood steering wheel, with correct ’67-only parts (door crank handle, air-cleaner, bumper over-riders, radio, door lock pull, and other ’67 only parts), vintage Hurst shifter and polished Porsche 2-liter wheels wrapped with 165/55R15 rubber, dropped spindles, OG Hella lenses for the lights and an attitude of a head-turner bug. This bug should have a name… his name is BUNOG.
