I bought this Super Beetle with the intent of making it a baja bug. It was in stock configuration when I bought it. Everything worked....everything! I started stripping it and after 3 years have lost interest. Other projects have come along and this is now in my way. I have everything to put it back to stock or you can continue the baja project. It has not been cut on. I have stripped most of it down to bare metal as seen in the pictures. The bodywork still needs to be finished in a few places. I'm not good with body work so it has been filled and lightly sanded in a couple of larger spots. The channels under the doors are needing attention as well as the lower portion of the passenger rear.The driver's side should have a new floor pan installed. So should the passenger rear floor. Also the driver's doors were missing the inner panels when I got it. The back ones are in place and are in very good condition. So is the rear seat set. They are black. Front seats are covered and probably for a good reason. I was going to replace them so never took a good look at them. Also there were no bumpers on this other than the little "T" bar bumpers. The engine runs good. It does smoke upon starting after it has been sitting any length of time. There is an oil leak on the passenger side of it. It is coming from one of the push rod tubes. The previous owner put an Empi shifter in the car. It will jump out of reverse. He stated at time of sale he never adjusted the linkage. It was a daily driver for him but he parked it to restore it and never got beyond that. I drove it around the storage yard when I picked it up and due to limited space never got it to any speed beyond 2nd gear. I did shift into 3rd and 4th and theydidn't jump out and I felt no clutch slippage. I never put it on a suface street. Brakes work great including parkiing brake. All glass is good. The rear window has defrost in it and it worked when I bought it but I took the glass out when I got it home so wouldn't place a bet on it now. I have some extra little things to go with it. A new Empi 4 tip exhaust, new rears shocks that came with my purchase, 2 new strut cartridges that also came with. A Haynes repair manual and a couple other little things that I would have to locate. Tires have decent tread but they are slightly chopped. I would only use them for rolling around. Not sure I would trust em on the road. Any questions please contact me through ebay. I will answer as quickly as possible. I have a clear Michigan title but the car is in Marsielles, Illinois right about 4 miles off of Interstate 80. If you need additional pictures give me a day to get them....the car is 30 miles away from my residence. Thanks for looking. Bring a battery....I found out today this one is shot. Sorry
