Here is my 1968 VW Beetle, offered as an easy roller project, it currently does NOT have a motor in it but I am including a 1200cc engine. The car was fully stripped down and restored about 10 years ago. it received new floor pans, heater channels, rear luggage shelf, front and rear aprons and any other panels that needed to be replaced. the chassis was coated with por15 and received a new adjustable lowering front axle beam, all new steering components, ball joints,tie rods, bushings and bearings, all brand new brake components along with all stainless brake lines. also heavy duty non tapered race axles and a high performance transaxle was installed with a 4.12 ring and pinion, super diff, heavy duty side cover, poor mans posi, welded 3rd and 4th, etc. the body was finished in House of Kolor copper pearl. all new seals and fasteners were used during reassembly. it should be noted that during the restoration process changes were made to make the car resemble a 1966 beetle. the hood and deck lid along with the front and rear aprons, bumpers, and fenders are all 66 and earlier style. also the drum brakes were changed to the wide 5 lug style in order to mount the BRM replica wheels with firestone 145 tires on the front and 205's on the rear. custom modifications include: shaved front turn signals (signals now behind horn grills), shaved hood and deck lid handles, frenched in vw hood emblem, and the dash has been smoothed so now there is only a speedometer and fuel gage along with the head light switch and wiper switch. there is no glove box, no radio and no heat. a brand new, full factory style wiring harness was installed front to rear. the seats were stripped and redone with all new foam and 2 tone vinyl/velour upholstery. new door panels and carpet were installed as well. the interior still looks good though there are some minor stains here and there on the seats and the custom headliner has some wrinkles and spots. also the front door panels are a little warped. keep in mind that the car is starting to show some aging, there are some typical scratches and chips and there are some small bubbles in the paint in some areas, some caused by surface rust starting. mostly at the bottom of the front and rear aprons. there is a rust bubble starting on the lower corner of the drivers side door. there is probably less than 10,000 miles on the car since being finished and it has sat the last couple of years since the previous engine was removed. The engine that is included Is a 1200cc 40hp single port. it was running when removed. it is complete but could probably use a tune up and valve adjustment. I don't know how many miles are on this engine as I got it used. The car is not currently running and will need to be hauled on a trailer. also, I do not have a title as New Hampshire does not require one for a vehicle this old. however, the car is currently registered and I can provide a bill of sale. it is being sold as is, and I would prefer to be paid with cash at time of pick up. please contact me with any questions or concerns. thank you.
