Vehicle Detail
This Super Beetle is in exceptional condition. It has been garaged since new. I am the 2nd owner. When I got the car I drove it around some and everything worked, but since I wanted a car that my wife could drive and feel safe in and be dependable I went thru the entire car. I replaced a lot of items that were working just fine but I wanted to be sure that all would be well and I would feel confident that every time my wife would get in it she would be OK. Here are some of the things that I replaced with new: Engine:The case (block) was checked and was found to have no cracks or problems.Oil PumpRingsBearingsLiftersPushrod TubesFuel PumpGeneratorPulley and BeltCoilPlugs and WiresMallory Unilite Electronic DistributorNew Stock CarbSound deadening lining installed in engine bay Brakes: The brakes worked fine but were not up to my standards so a complete brake job was doneNew rear German made drums, Shoes, HosesFront was converted to new Disc brakes with new rotors, calipers, and pads. Front suspension: New adjustable struts allows the car to be lowered or raised (I have it lowered 1.5"- 2") gives it a nice rake look. Interior:Before installing the entire new interior (TMI) sound deadening material was used on the floor, doors and rear luggage area resulting in a very quite and harshness free ride (see picture).New VDO gauges were installed in the dash showing Tach, Oil Pressure, Voltage, and GasNew aftermarket Steering WheelCustom seat coverings front and rearNew 3 point safety belts Body:The body is in excellent condition. I stripped down the body and found no evidence of damage and never any rust which is rare for a 42 year old VWNice shiny paintNew trunk linerTinted windshieldNew running boardsNew weatherstripping and rubber thru outSpare tire and jack installed in trunk8 spoke American Eagle polished wheelsLights and gauges, turn signals workRadio works but no speakers are installed (didn't want to cut up new interior) I have the speakers (4) Car starts up as soon as key is turned (no grinding away), runs and drives great. Included in the sale are a dual carb kit with 2 Weber carbs (44IDF), manifolds and linkage, $900 value, an intake manifold set up for a single Weber carb, $150 valueA complete set of new front and rear fenders never installed $500 + value. The carbs ran fine on the car but I wanted to go stock for economy and low maintenance.Original owners manual.This car has over $3000 in the most popular upgrades above and beyond the price of the car.It has been appraised and insured for $12,000. The reserve is much lower than that because I am looking for a quick sale.I have the title in my name and current registration is in my name and ready to be signed over to buyerI reserve the right to end auction early Deposit: $500 within 24 hours after auction ends via PayPal Balance within 5 days via cash. Maybe a cashiers check.Shipping is buyers responsibility. The fenders and extras are bulky and will not fit into the car so trailer or shipper is suggested. I can store car for 2 weeks.
