I AM LISTING THIS ONE OF A KIND VW FOR A FRIEND OF MINE THAT HE TOOK ON TRADE AT HIS SHOP. I AM BY NO MEANS A VW EXPERT BUT I HAVE SOLD ONE VW "THING" ON EBAY ALONG WITH NUMEROUS OTHER MOTORCYCLES, TRIKES, QUADS, AND VEHICLES ALL WITH SATISFIED CUSTOMERS SO PLEASE TRUST MY FEEDBACK. LIKE I SAID I AM NOT A VW EXPERT BUT I HAVE PERSONALLY DROVE THIS BUGGY AND IT REALLY SURPRISED ME THE WAY IT PERFORMED AND HANDLED FOR A 1972 MACHINE. IT RUNS VERY WELL AND STOPPED AS EXPECTED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER INVESTED ALOT OF MONEY INTO THIS RIDE WHICH I'M SURE YOU VW PEOPLE KNOW ALL ABOUT. THE CHROME ON THE ENGINE ALONE IS IMPRESSIVE. THE MOTOR HAS BEEN REBUILT LARGER THAN STOCK AND RUNS AWESOME. THERE IS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 200 MILES ON THE ENGINE!!! THE PAINT IS SHINY BUT THE FIBERGLASS BODY DOES SHOW SOME FLAWS, PITS, AND SPIDER WEBBING WHICH I TRIED SHOWING IN THE PICS. THE ROLL BAR IS JUST SITTING IN THE BUGGY AND IS NOT TIED INTO THE FRAME. THIS GIVES YOU THE OPTIONS OF WHERE YOU'D LIKE TO TIE IT IN. I WAS TOLD IT MAY BE ABLE TO BE BOLTED IN JUST WHERE IT SITS BUT IT MAY FLAW THE FIBERGLASS BODY AND WOULD JUST BE FOR LOOKS... THE BODY HAS 1967 MUSTANG TAIL LIGHTS IN IT!! I WAS TOLD THIS IS A "MANX" STYLE BODY BUT AM UNSURE AND APOLOGIZE IF I"M WRONG. I KNOW MY AD IS SOMEWHAT VAGUE BUT WE JUST DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THESE OTHER THAN IT IS RARE. FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER. ANYBODY IS ENCOURAGED TO COME VIEW AND DRIVE THIS UNIT BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME TO SET UP A TIME. I CAN DELIVER THIS CAR FOR A FEE, YOU CAN SET YOUR OWN SHIPPING UP OR LOCAL PICK UP WELCOME. THE SELLER IS A DEALER AND IS A NOTARY AS WELL TO TRANSFER PAPERWORK. HAPPY BIDDING TO OWN A RARE VW AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF OTHERS!!! THANKS!! $100 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL DUE WITHIN 48HRS AUCTION END. HAPPY BIDDING!! On Nov-08-12 at 11:37:26 PST, seller added the following information: THE OWNER CONTACTED ME AND IS MOTIVATED TO SELL THIS VW. HE DOES NOT WANT TO HAVE TO STORE IT OVER THE WINTER. SO PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE MAJOR PRICE DROP! ALSO, I HAVE HAD ALOT OF INTEREST IN THIS RIDE. YOU VW PEOPLE ARE GREAT AND I DID FIND OUT THAT THIS BODY IS CALLED A "RATTLER" MADE BY B&N PLASTICS IN SPRINGFIELD OHIO IN THE LATE 60'S OR EARLY 70'S. THANKS!
