A True Time Capsule1955 VW Beetle As complete and original as they come You don't find gems like this everyday. I hate to let her go, but I know I won't get to it this year, my 23 window is priority. I would hate to see this sit any longer than it already has - been out of circulation since '79. So I'm offering to the world... Here's your chance to own an awesome piece of VW history. To find something that is 60+ years old with matching numbers and 100% complete with every single original part is no easy task. I hate the thought of letting her go, but I know I won't have the time she needs. I need the time and space to focus on my 23 window. Original Matching Numbers Car with the Original 36 HP Engine.- Pan, Engine & ALL other parts are original to this car. This is a rare car with rare options. It can be on the road rather quickly... the radio tunes & plays, the lights work, and the semaphores light up. There is juice to the starter, but not the main hot wire - that's why she won't try to turn over. I haven't crawled around to see what the wiring issue is yet, but the motor spins free and this is a super sound car; therefore, I know it won't take much to get her running. I'm pretty sure with some fresh gas, a new fuel filter and a few hours of time - this baby will fire right up. This rare beetle was featured on an original Volkswagen Billboard Ad and Print Ad for the '72 Super Beetle. The photo of the ad below has a red arrow pointing to this car that I am selling. This Ad was provided to the original owner by VW at the time of the photo shoot, and it will be included in this sale.
