The Ultimate Herbie The Love Bug Racer
September 25, 2007
For many Herbie fans, the ultimate Herbie is an early Love Bug version, complete with widened 5bolt rims and wide tires, sans hubcaps, lighter blue stripes, and taped headlights. I couldn’t agree more.
But for me, I would also like to include Monte Carlo style seats (or the Recaro NJoys that I have on) and a single fog light for added character.
With the price of gasoline going sky high, my dream of having a monster Herbie powerplant will remain just that. I am very happy with the dependability and the economy of my 71 stock 1600. It has enough grunt to keep up with everyday traffic and I get around 7 kilometers to the liter. not bad at all.
What I would like to add is a decent stereo (nothing fancy) and an airconditioning system.
Here is my drawing of what I’d like my Herbie to look like one of these days.

Operation Herbie® is a group that was created by Bob Croesus of Catasauqua Pa..
Owners of Herbie Replica’s and drivers visit sick children wherever they live. They spend time with each sick youngster answering questions about their sport, posing for pictures and handing out the distinctive Operation Herbie® buttons, assorted memorabilia provide by our sponsors. Herbie has brought a smile to what can sometimes be a very traumatic time, not only for the child concerned but also for the families involved. Operation Herbie® representatives do not except any money for these appearances. We only try to raise a smile for a young child. In addition, in some cases monies had been raised through donations and specific fund raising events for Celiac Disease, The Burn Foundation, Camelot for Children And many others institutions and causes across the country.
