![]()  My name is Karl Schmidt. I found my car about 8 years ago down in San Diego. Spent the first 4 years restoring it and the last 4 my wife and I have been enjoying it. It had a lot of good and bad but we went with a custom look, if I did another one I think I would go stock. The most fun is the people who ask if its a Corvair or just say what is it. Thanks for letting me join. Karl |

Hi Karl,
Nice to see another red T34 !
I have been owning mine for one year, now, and I really enjoy driving it around. It is a 1963 1500, single carb. But unlike yours, it is all red, including roof and side pillars.
Hope we'll be exchanging more on this forum.

PS : you T34 was shown on the Oct. 2012 edition of the newsletter.

Hi Karl,
You'll be happy to know that your nice red car is shown on the December edition of the French VW magazine called "Super VW Mag". There is a nice report on the Classic VW show that was held at El Prado, that you obviously attended.

Here below the magazine's cover, and a shot of the article. The text says : Karl and Sheryl Schmidt's Type 34 is a reference. Restored to perfection, this 1967 model even has a few options.   |
