CALIFORNIA CAR - RESTORED - NO RUST - RUNS GREAT - READY TO DRIVEThis beauty of a Bug was a pan-off rebuild and restore in 1990 by a San Francisco Bay Area beetle maniac. I acquired it in 1998 and had it as my daily driver until 2001, when I moved back to the midwest. Since then it has spent winters in the garage and summers driving country roads on the weekend. It has never touched salt and has no rust, including common troublespots like underbody, wheel wells and heat exchangers. It has 49,000 miles since the rebuild.The car is built as stock including six-volt electronics. Some like to convert to 12v but I chose to keep it stock. It does have a 1600cc engine from 1968 instead of the stock 1300 but that's the only real change. I have a clean title to sign over to the buyer.I recently cleaned and tuned the carburetor and it starts right up with the key, holds a great idle and runs like a champ. It goes up to 80 mph on the freeway and with a bit more tuning could hit high 80s.In the last couple years the car has also had:-Five new tires! Good clean rubber, hardly worn and in great shape-New ignition system including coil, plugs, cap, points, rotor and cables-New fuel system components including engine-compartment lines, filters and fuel pump-New brakes including four new drums, all new pads and new or rebuilt wheel cylinders-New battery this spring, with included 6V Battery Tender for winter storage-Rebuilt carburetorThe car does have some minor body damage including some rubbed-off paint, a minor dent and a squished-in front end. Also the handbrake cable is currently broken and needs to be replaced. One photo shows a black front wheel - the spare happens to be on there, the white wheel is included, see images at link. That's it.
