Up for sale is my 1972 Super Beetle Baja Bug. I bought this for my stepdaughter who was into the off-road thing a few years ago, but not she has no interest in the Baja style. I do not have the time to complete this car although it wouldn't take much effort. I have had vw's since I was a teenager and this is one of the cleanest bugs for the year I have ever seen. This car came out of Oregon as I recall and I bought it from a guy in Michigan. The car has never sat outside and is virtually rust free. You can see where someone did bodywork just behind the doors but that is it. The floor pans in this car are absolutely solid. There is no carpet in the car so I was able to see everything when I went to look at it. I looked underneath and was amazed that there was no rust. This car would take minimal bodywork to have ready for paint. The Baja fenders were made out of the original steel fenders and whoever did them did a really nice job on shaping them. The previous owner said he had the engine gone through and punched but I'm not sure what cc it is. I'm guessing 1641 or so. I go it running but the carb (2bbl Holley) needs to be rebuilt. It has a flat spot off idle. It leaks oil when it sits but probably just needs a gasket that has dried out. It sounds good and has plenty of power once you get it moving. The car needs the brakes finished including lines I believe. The car has new BF Goodrich tires and new "Wagon Wheel" style wheels. I can send pictures of the inside to anyone interested. I will also try to add some more pics of everything when I get a chance. I apologize for not knowing more details on the car but I have not done anything more than tune it up and get it running. I travel extensively so not much time for working on cars. This is a chance for someone to own a very nice older bug that is as solid as you will find. It has been stored inside it's entire life including the time in which I have owned it. I will finish the car and run another auction if it doesn't sell in this auction. Good Luck & thanks for looking.
