new to VWs

Folks, (apologies for the dupe posting - didn't find this group until after
finding the other VW ng)

I am about to acquire my first VW Bug, 1971. I am a capable mechanic, just
not familiar with the VWs. I am primarily a Ford and Dodge guy, 1968-1971,
sort of a muscle car purist, plus big into the 1950's and 1940's trucks from
Ford in particular, but not averse to Dodge or Chevrolet either.

Can anyone point me to a comprehensive/authoritative VW Bug web site with
history, photos, year by year descriptions of changes, etc. please?

Many thanks!
Jim
