I’m not sure; since so much of this car is original, I may keep it as it is. However, if something happens, I could consider it more!

Good point! Since I was five or six years old, I wanted one of these. It started when I saw The Love Bug and Herbie: Fully Loaded at that age, and I was intrigued by what that car was capable. Recently, one of my dad’s friends was selling it. When I took a look at it, I remembered that I desperately wanted one of these when I was younger, so I decided to buy it!
