I too just blew off the dust on my original Blitzer beetle. Its seen better days but still runs and my 8 yo son loves to drive it. Got a new battery off of Amazon and that's been going great. Till last night when he broke the rear chassis housing. I tried to JB Weld it but it didn't hold up. So now I'm waiting for some eBay parts to show up. I'd love to buy a broken down spare if anyone knows of one.
