How best to sum up the No Dough Weekend, a Volkswagen get-together that wrapped up this past Sunday at the City Center Municipal Complex in Port Orange, Florida?
Perfect weather, a welcoming setting and lots of VWs old and new alike. And did we mention it was free?
Check out more pictures–more than just a few–of the event over at Classic Motorsports.

'67 Beetle with a lot of warming over using Porsche parts.
Ignoring the Vanagon in the driveway...
The original Scirocco.
Timely, I'm getting ready to go buy a Vanagon in about an hour. Anything I should look for? It's an air cooled '81. Apparently rust is the biggest issue (rockers, base of the windshield and underneath)
While I appreciate all cars on some level or another the only VW that I really get excited about is the Karmann Ghia
Grew up in aircooleds. I love 'em but don't see myself having one.
A1 chassis cars are apparently my soft spot.
In reply to calteg :
I cannot give advice on that, I basically got lucky on mine. Although an early aircooled wouldn't be my first choice, I think the '86 and up vans are easier to maintain. Also, 67 hp and a top speed of 75 means it's a little leisurely in modern traffic.
In reply to Datsun310Guy :
You know, we found ourselves looking at a '67 as well. Mildly warmed over and looked really clean, including good/new/proper paint, full interior redo, 1776 engine, etc., etc.
Volksplane.
I'll take a Type 34 Karmann Ghia. Any color.
