YOU ARE BIDDING ON A CLASSIC BEETLE, 1965. MY WIFE AND I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 13 YEARS AND HAVE PUT LESS THAN A 1000 MILES ON THE CAR. SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT WE HAVE REPLACED THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE FLOORBOARD, REPLACED THE WIRING HARNESS WITH BRAND NEW AS WELL AS THE FUSE BOX. THE CAR ORIGINALLY WAS A 6-VOLT MODEL IN 1965 BUT WAS CONVERTED TO A 12 VOLT SYSTEM. THE MOTOR RUNS PERFECTLY AND SOUNDS LIKE A BUG SHOULD. THERE IS SURFACE ROT HERE AND THERE BUT NOTHING ROTTING THROUGH. THE RUNNING BOARDS ARE THE WORST AND I HAVE BRAND NEW IN BOXES (BOTH SIDES) WE RECENTLY (2 WEEKS AGO) DROVE IT UP AND DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND REALIZED IT NOW NEEDS BRAKE WORK AS WE TAPPED THE RETAINING WALL IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND NOW THERE ARE CREASES IN BOTH FRONT FENDERS (LOOK AT PHOTOS) NOT HORRIBLE BUT WORTH NOTING. THE CAR WAS ORIGANALLY POWDER BLUE IN COLOR AND THERE WAS A OLDER RESTORATION PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE AND THATS WHY YOU SEE THE WOODGRAIN DOOR PANELS. THE GAS PEDAL LINKAGE AND CORD TO THE GAS HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE GAS PEDAL ITSELF NEEDS WORK, SOME WELDING AND TLC. THERE IS SURFACE RUST ON THE BUMPERS AND CAN BE EASILY REMOVED WITH THE APPROPRIATE CHROME CLEANER. THE ORIGINAL SEATS DO NEED WORK,WELDING TO BE PERFECT AND CORRECT. I THINK I HAVE EXPLAINED ALL ABOUT THIS BUG. NEEDS A GOOD HOME OR GOOD RESTORATION, THIS IS A GREAT START ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK. THIS IS FOR PICK-UP ONLY!! DO NOT EXPECT TO DRIVE THIS CAR HOME
