The following pictures are of Herbie since his
restoration. He now sports official decals/racing stripes (the same as
used in his movies), a complete makeover (paint, body work, etc.), and an
updated central nervous system (brain) that allows him to open/close his own
hood and doors, and much more...

Herbie

Herbie showing off
his stuff...
|
Yes, we know... |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Herbie in Tampa,
FL just after being fixed up with his new stripes/decals |
On his first day
out on his
own, Herbie was
hit by a dog damaging the rear fender
|
It's OK Herbie, it
could have been a lot worse!!
|
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Herbie in action! |
Is that really a
40 HP under
that hood!! |
Stephen says that
Herbie
is now ready for
the
Grand Prix
|
|
 |
 |
 |
Two 10-32 custom
bolts hold Herbie's California tag on top of the Florida tag
|
Is that really a
Blaupunkt
I see? |
Not really, just a
clever cover plate to cover Herbie's new CD/FM sound system.
|
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The two speakers
located behind the rear seat are
on a plate that covers extra batteries and the
air tank..
|
The interior
almost looks
normal except for
a few
added switches
|
Herbie sporting
his new
driving lights |
