1967 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic

It's got one

Clear

1967 VW Baja Purchased to turn into my daily driver, but the landlord is unhappy with my collection of non-running vehicles. As this is the one I've put the least amount of sweat and blood and time into, I'm willing to try listing it for sale again. The previous auction ended at $1350 to a bidder who failed to fulfill their legally-binding obligation (ebay is cautious not to allow harsh words against winners who don't pay!) Anyway...whether or not it comes to the previous auction price (or higher or lower) is less important to me than the winning bidder being a man (or woman) of their word, so if you have ANY chance of not paying for this Bug, please do us both a favor and simply don't bid...please? :-) I literally only know what the previous owner told me, and what I've witnessed with my own eyes. I work a lot so I don't have time to mess with this. Previous owner added an auxillary fuel tank and powered it with a tiny 12v fuel pump. He said the fuel tank lines were clogged, and it was easier for him to add the spare tank than to mess with removing the original and lines. Since he only used it for fun, goofin' around on his land, a small tank on the back was all he ever needed. Says the small tank on back would prolly run it for a coupla hours...although he only used the emergency brake handle for brakes; the brake pedal goes to the floor, so it'll need a master cylinder at least. This is an older Baja creation, with older (worn ) interior, but the pans are solid (save for under the battery tray) and the body is solid. There's some rust-through where the side step rails used to be, but not so bad that it's structurally worrying. It can be covered up by new side rails and stay like that forever, unless you're gonna take it up north and run it in the salty winters up there. Previous owner drove it around three months ago and didn't have any problems with it getting around on his property...said he was actually impressed with the ride. When I towed it home, it tracked straight and true, without any bad bumping or wagging, so it looks to me like it's in overall good shape, just needs some cleaning up and it can be put back on the road as a street legal daily driver here in Texas. This was my original intention, but the landlord is even more unhappy with me now that the previous winner didn't come through with his end of the bargain. This is a project....will need brakes, battery, tune up, oil looks good (isn't dirty, isn't gas fouled), will need little things like the rear brake lights affixed more securely, better wiper blades, the basic stuff like that...if you're looking for basic fun or basic transportation, this is it. If you're looking for a show-winner, you're prolly gonna need to find one that's gonna sell for closer to three-to-five grand and fix it up from there. This isn't a three-to-five grand Bug...but it can be a Daily Driver without needing major surgery. This lil Bug has got a lotta things that other projects don't have. The interior is in need up updating, but it's VERY solid...the dash is in one piece, nothing is cut up to pieces, all the metal is still in great shape. The glove box is even in GREAT shape...for old cardboard that's really impressive ;-) There's no animal nests inside, there's no front end body damage (isn't that how most Baja's are created anyway?), no bondo anywhere that I can find. This lil bug has heart...it just needs some lovin to get back on the road! I did get a chance to throw some jumper cables directly to the battery cables off my truck and the lil engine did spin over easily...in fact it's one of the better sounding v-dubs I've owned, which makes me not really want to get rid of it. This auction is a test to see if the general public thinks this car, as-is, is worth enough dough to talk me out of it. If someone wants it bad enough, it'll save me from having to pay for storage while I finish my other work. So...best of luck with the auction, bid early and bid often. ;-) We can deliver for one dollar per loaded mile from Canton, TX (75103) to your location, paid in advance via Paypal, cash, or Postal Money Order only (NO EXCEPTIONS). The tires hold air well enough to tow anywhere. Any questions...DO NOT ASSUME...please come check out this bug in person! I will *try* to answer questions...but do not give me a hard time if it takes me a day or two to respond due to my 100-mile each-way commute to work. THANKS for reading!! :-)
