But, I am getting WAY ahead of myself and we've got a lot of information to cover so let's get to it shall we? EXTERIOR As stated above, this beautiful VW was purchased from the ORIGINAL, Adult non-smoking owner. Always garaged or covered. The paint is all original except for the aftermarket fenders that were installed and painted by the original owner. I do not have the original fenders but, I am told that it is VERY easy to remove and replace them if you would like the factory fender look. The paint is VERY glossy with NO RUST, NO body damage, or issues. There are a few rock chips here and there from normal road debris but, nothing out of the ordinary or excessive. All window glass is intact and clear. All taillight, headlight, turn signals, and corner markers are beautiful! Pictures do not do this Vintage VW the justice it deserves . . .it looks GREAT! Overall I would rate the exterior a 9 out of 10. INTERIOR The inside of this VW is in EXCELLENT shape. The interior seat fabrics were professionally done and look incredible. The seats are firm with NO rips, tears, broken bolsters or problems. The carpet looks great and is all intact. The dash is in excellent shape and has NO cracks or discoloration. The door panels are the original units and are also in excellent shape. The top is in EXCELLENT shape. The back window is glass NOT plastic. The top operates smoothly and is very easy to raise and lower. All buttons, switches, lights, controls, dials, knobs, handles, etc, are intact and in perfect working order. NO PROBLEMS! All window glass is intact and all window cranks work perfectly. This VW is equipped with VERY RARE FACTORY AC! The system works great however; the AC compressor died and was sent in to be rebuilt. The shop that I sent it in too went under and I was not able to recover my AC compressor. The system worked great before the pump died and I’m sure it will work again with a new AC compressor. Overall I would rate the interior a 9 out of 10. ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION, BRAKES, TIRES The drive train is the legendary VW flat 4. Engine is fuel injected and mated to a 4 speed manual transmission. Engine and transmission are ORIGINAL! The engine starts the first time, every time and settles into a smooth idle. The power comes on strong and pulls through the entire rev range. Never abused! The 4 speed manual trans shifts smoothly and the clutch has great feel and take up with NO slipping. The shocks are firm with NO excessive dive, squat, bounce, or rebound. The steering is responsive with NO excessive play in the steering wheel. The brakes are firm with great pedal feel. The master cylinder was replaced recently and there are no braking issues. No pulling or vibration. Just firm, confident stops. The wheels are REAL Porsche alloys and are staggered 15”. Tires are new and are 195/60 15 in front and 255/60 15 in the rear. Overall I would rate the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and tires a 9 out of 10. 1976 Volkswagon Super Beetle Convertible Karmann Edition NO ACCIDENTS ! 2nd Adult Non-Smoking Owner Original Paint Fuel Injected Flat 4 Engine 4 Speed Manual Transmission FACTORY A/C New Interior No Rust!

THE BEST BIDDING STRATEGY Last minute bidding, while exciting, can cost YOU the car that you wanted. This is why EBAY does not recommend it as a bidding strategy. They instead suggest that Members rely on the EBAY'S Proxy Bid System They paid alot to develop it - USE IT To use EBAY'S Proxy bid system simply do your research, bid the absolute maximum that you are willing to pay for the item the first time you bid and let the proxy server do the rest of the work for YOU. The computer will do all your bidding for you, but it won't just hop right on to the max amount. IT will only outbid the previous bidder by one bid increment {so if you enter $4000 and the item is at $2000 and the previous bidder has a max bid of say $2500 the item will only go up to $2550 and if you are bid against the computer bids on your behalf up to the amount you entered as your max bid also if you happen to want to bid again you can do so say $4500 but bid amount will not increase just the computer will bid higher for you.} TERMS, CONDITIONS, SHIPPING, PAYMENT, ETC. I hope I have covered everything. If you need more info, pictures, questions answered, etc. , pleases email, text, or call me at #602-672-0971 and ask me BEFORE YOU BID! I have sold MANY vehicles on ebay in the past and I have also purchased MANY vehicles on ebay. I appreciated the honesty and straight-forwardness those sellers gave to me. I in turn give that to you. I know the more information I can give you the better off you AND I are. Serious buyers only please.
