Better than VW ever made them This is the highest spec'd Beetle anywhere bar none. No permanent modifications have been made and it still sits at it's original ride height. I specialize in restoring and repairing vintage European cars and this is one of my weekend toys. This car was spec'd to my preference for a bit of luxury, quieter running, and higher quality materials. I did not want to overwhelm the cars inherent simplicity, yet this is not the usual rattle trap that stock Beetles are. You can carry on a normal conversation while driving it for instance and the hood, doors, and trunk close with a thunk rather than a clatter. On top of that you will not see a paint finish as exceptional in depth and shine as this car has. Look closely and scrutinize every picture for any imperfection. There are none. Fully Restored - over 2 years in restoration taken down to nuts and bolts and rebuilt from the ground up. About 5K miles since restoration. The car is a unique Standard model not the typical North American Deluxe model. The standard had more exposed and painted metal in the interior than the Deluxe. Full pan off restoration with new floors welded in and seams all sealed. The full undercarriage was then coated with Por 15 and then bed lined. This Beetle will never rust. The entire body was stripped to bare metal inside and out and painted from scratch. No filler anywhere, all metal car. No permanent modifications have been made to the car. All accessories are easily removable if that is preferred. Thorough (High Quality Butyl) sound deadening in the front storage area, under the carpet, behind the headliner, in the doors and in the rear parcel shelf/storage area. There is NO roofing material used as sound deadening in this car. The engine has 5K miles on it (German short block remanufactured 1600 Dual Port) not a cheap Brazilian cast 1600. There is a serpentine belt conversion, NOS German Bosch SVDA distributor with pointless ignition, fully rebuilt Pict 34-3 Solex carburettor as well as a stainless mesh oil filter in an expanded sump plate. All Brake lines, hoses and hydraulics were replaced, all drums-shoes-hardware are new, new steering box, new kingpins, new shocks, new clutch, new starter, new generator, new wiper motor/mechanism/arms, new new new I cannot possibly list everything. All rubber components were replaced with German - window seals, door seals, trunk and hood seals, etc... New steering wheel, all fittings in the interior are new, new carpet and matching trunk carpet. The seats, grab handles and headliner are LEATHER and were custom made for this car at an upholsterer. The visors were custom made in the right color. New seat foams. The door cards are from TMI and are vinyl. The match is perfect. Factory fitted 3 point seatbelts were replaced with new. Included new tool roll and the jack has been restored and is in it's correct location hidden by the spare. Converted to 12 Volt Electronics and ALL wiring is new. Retrosound Radio is installed and it is the top of the line $450 model - Bluetooth compatible, USB in the glove box and connectors for expansion to add audio equipment if you like. Currently has two high end speakers in the rear shelf beneath the rear seats leading edge which are more than adequate. Accessories include - Solid billet aluminum running boards with powder coated ribbing, mud guards, bamboo tray, Swans neck mirrors, Robri stone guards (Genuine - NOT Flat-4), 356 Headlamp guards, roof and trunk racks, A full set of Flying Cog Hubcaps in fresh chrome and finally a set of small glass and metal OEM Hella turn signal indicators. Again NO MODIFICATION was necessary to install these items. They can be easily and completely removed in about two hours. This is a "new" Beetle with about 5K miles on the restoration. This Beetle will get all the attention at any show anywhere in the country. Come and see the car for yourself, drive it and inspect everything under and over. You will not find fault.
