Vehicle Detail

Original matching body and pan. Car was restored 15+ years ago, still a good looking car. Has been in TX since restoration, so very little rust. Pans & heater channels replaced at restoration. Grafted German ragtop that works perfectly, very tight. Has rare locking steering column. Very tight car, no rattles. Doors open and close like new. Very good running 1641 dual port with 12v alternator, brand new clutch, new Weber 40 IDF expertly tuned, new throttle cable, valve adjustment, plugs, tranny flush, new GT exhaust. New Empi shifter (have original), 009 distributor. Runs & drives great! Car needs nothing to be out cruising this weekend. Adjustable German beam up front. Car is shown with smoothies and Empi 5 spoke wheels, but I would prefer to sell it with the Empi 5 spoke wheels (negotiable) Brand new TMI carpet and tweed & vinyl upholstery, looks great. Modern style 3 point seat belts. New seat tracks installed several inches back for modern size humans! I'm 6'5" and fit well. Wipers, speedo, etc work. LED snowflake taillights. Both Semaphores work well and wired to flash. Hyper-accurate gas gauge included at no extra cost! (bamboo stick) Overall the car looks like it was restored 15 years or so ago and been well kept since. Big rock chip on the hood as shown, small rock chips on the fenders here and there. Some rust bubbling up in the spare tire well, but no other rust issues. All German glass in great shape. Cool documentation back to 1957. Can call or text Sean at 713-443-59 zero 3 with questions. MAY also consider partial trades for a lesser 60s beetle, but must be solid and make trade offer in person so I can inspect your car. Only pre-1967 beetles, no buses, type 3s, guns, etc. **Waiting on tax return? I am willing to take a deposit and hold the car in dry storage for free (a month or two if needed).
