I am selling my 1976 Super Beetle Convertible. It is partially restored and I have taken it as far as I want to go. It is a daily driver and I mean that seriously! I drive it to work sometimes,which is a 70 mile round trip. It drives down the road like a new car. I am not the type of bug owner to get the car so perfect as to be afraid of every scratch and paint chip. Some of you are. Professionally paint this baby and you’ll have a 15,000 car! The good: Decent paint done with a can. No shine but no drips. No body rust. Trim in good shape. Newer tires (about 5K on them) Chrome hubcaps and chrome wheels Clean interior with carpet on sides, rubber floor mats. New seat covers. Decent radio with speakers in door. New wipers One new tie rod, front bearings greased Engine removed and all gaskets and seals replaced Converted from FI to carb. New plugs, wires, distributor cap and wires. New engine compartment casket Heater boxes patched. Heat works great, even in Wisconsin Starts easily; couple pumps and it fires right up New electric fuel pump New spare tire. Jack and tools present Probably more but I can’t recall right now The bad: This is a daily driver, not a show car. The paint is even and consistent, just not glossy. To restore it completely, it should be professionally painted. The floor pans are rusty in places. They are patched (temporarily) behind the driver seat and where the battery is. The area around the frame head has some rust. Nothing that could not be treated and patched but the body would need to come off. The main engine seal (by the clutch) still leaks a little at high speeds but not while the car is just sitting. The vert top works and looks fine but has one hole on the right rear side that has been patched. There is also no interior lining. I have an extra new top that will come with the car. The new seat covers are the wrong style and do not fit like they should. Not a big deal though as they still look fine.
