Hello, I am selling my custom beetle due to a new purchase I have made and will not be using it like it should be used. I have 100% positive feedback and plan to keep it that way. Please message me if you plan on bidding and have 0 experience with Ebay. I do require a 500$ non-refundable deposit through paypal within 24 hours of auction ending ... I will not be in town the 12th through the 21st of July so if it takes some time to get back on messages I apologize ... I bought this from a friend with the intent to take it to car shows and use it on the weekends but I have bought another vehicle and will not have time to use this and want to pass it on to someone who enjoy it ... OKAY ... This is a 1974 beetle body ... fenders are early 60's and also the hood is early 60's (and is rare and has emblem on it) it also has early model bumpers which are also rare ... It has fresh paint done in 2012 ... which as you can see from the pictures is awesome candy blue with black and reverse ghost flames (3,500 in paint) it has 1,500$ in powder coating ... It has very very rare saw blade wheels worth over 1000$ they are powdercoated black .. bumpers were rattler canned and have some paint coming off as you can see in pictures ... they were not professionally painted with the rest of the car ... the glass is in pertfect condition ... it has new carpet ... new weather stripping ... it has air ride suspension on the front that is set up super easy ... stays on 90psi for best ride but air can be let out and set on the ground at car shows then there is a 12v socket to plug in the air compresser and it airs right back up ... great riding car with the air suspension ... OK this car was a 3 speed autostick from the factory basically an automatic ... When the previous owner had the whole car restored he had it converted to a 3 speed with a clutch ... very easy to operate and very unique .. the way it idols I dont even use 1st gear unless on a steep hill ... you can use 2nd gear 0-40mph and then just switch to 3rd from 40-80mph ... yes i said 80 because I drove this car on interstate every once in a while ... steering is a little shaky but it can be driven easily on interstate if needed .. I suggest you just bring a trailer to take it home ... its really a cruiser ... OK the engine is 1915cc and it was COMPLETELY rebuilt ... along with the transmission ... 3,000 miles on the engine and trans ... as you can see from the pictures it is very very clean ... It has a very rare dellorto carb on it worth 600$ ... carb could use a slight adjustment but I and the previous owner have driven it for over a year with it just how it is ... interior is nice but seats could use a recovering ... The back seat (sorry for poor picture) has a cushion on the bottom and seat belts but no back cushion but has a rubberized rug drilled into the system box to clean up all the wires to the stereo ... it has two batteries under the back seat one for the car and one for the stereo ... the car has been completely rewired ... the stereo system on the car is absolutely amazing and cost a good amount of money ... works great !! ... the dellorto carb # is R5219 ... The rear hatch to the engine compartment has a special bracket which allows it to sit away from the body and get more air to the engine ... when opening it you can see where it rubs on the bumper and took the paint off and where it touches the paint took the paint off ... I will have to take the winner on a ride and show them everything due to my insurance will not cover any other driver but me ... I will not ship the car ... If you want to send a shipping company with full payment that fine but remember 500$ deposit due within 24 hours of end of auction ... any other questions just message me ... I think i covered everything ... Thanks for looking ... the previous owner has over 11,000 invested in the car ... it has a clear signed tennessee title and bill of sale ready to hand over ... All in all its an awesome custom beetle and it an eye catcher anywhere it goes ... I have set this at no reserve to make sure it sells .. anything under 7,000 and im losing money ... this is easily a 8,000 car ... another thing ... the professional paint is very nice .. took pictures of the small inperfections ... the bumpers were ratlle canned just so they wouldnt get any rust on them because they are rare ... it has heat and air but not cold air just does have good air in it under the dash and blows hard ... gas gauge works .. signals work .. healights and tail lights work .. Good luck bidding ... 500$ deposit due within 24 hours .. ill get back from vacation the day the auction ends ... ill work with the buyer for you to come get the car or have someone come get it Dont let this car get away ... This is a great custom beetle for a fraction of what it costs to build it ... remember i have sold amny things on ebay and have described the car great ... if you think it looks good in pictures just wait till you come pick it up ... the rest of the payment is due in CASH or certified bank check and will have to go with you to cash it if its a check ... id like cash if possible ...minus the deposit ... Thanks again good luck bidding
