Vehicle Detail

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Cute as a Bug! This fun little car is in need of some TLC, and a little work. I purchased this car about 4 years ago and my schedule has kept me from making the necessary repairs. It is only right that I pass it on to someone to enjoy, in perfect time for summer cruising. It ran nicely when I parked it, but it has not been started in years. With it's blue and white color scheme it would look at home at the beach, or a mountain road. With khaki paint or decked out in camoflage it is reminiscent of the old german military vehicles. As the paint is rough it could be your own blank canvas. The body has been patched and repaired and could use some additional attention, please refer to the pictures to tell a more complete story. The steering box is loose and could use a reworking. The braking system though it stopped the car then, should be gone through and evaluated (don't like the way the brake line was run). There is a previous repair to the floor that I was going to replace with readily available aftermarket panels, but is functional for now. The top too, needs to be replaced, also the plastic in the wind screens needs repair but are an easy fix with parts available on line. Local pickup only no shipping, will require towing. The weather is right, with an investment of some time and money and a little work you could have a great little car that turns heads wherever it goes. Contact me for more photographs or more information. Car is available to be seen in West Milford, NJ. Good luck and happy bidding!!!!!!
