The Lightning Bug comes home with me, the 3rd owner, in July, 1990. The original owner traded in her '65 Beetle for this demo unit SB on March 5, 1973 at Moore Roundtree in Memphis. Still have the tattered Bill of Sale. $2366.65 plus $535.90 for options, including dealer installed A/C.

My eldest daughter did the high school tour and started college before passing the bug on to little sister.

 


My "youngest" loved the bug and the new found freedom it brought.

 


I still remember the sound of the bug, whistling down the street towards home, just before the familiar "bump bump" as sis' hit the driveway apron at a high rate of noise.
