THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION FOR AN INCREDIBLY WELL PRESERVED CLASSIC 79 BEETLE CONVERTIBLE. THIS CAR HAS 76K ORIGINAL MILES AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL KEPT AND MAINTAINED ALL OF ITS LIFE. I AM PERSONALLY A HUGE VW FAN AND OWN MORE THAN 15 CLASSIC VOLKSWAGEN'S RIGHT NOW. I COLLECT ALL SORTS OF CLASSIC CARS AND DO WELCOME TRADES HOWEVER MY GOAL RIGHT NOW IS TO GET FROM OVER 70 VEHICLES IN MY COLLECTION DOWN TO ABOUT 35. I STILL LOVE CARS AND WILL LOOK AT ALL TRADES. MY PROBLEM IS I HAVE ABOUT 35 OF MY CARS THAT NEED TO BE RESTORED SO I AM SELLING COMPLETE CARS AND FIXING THE PROJECTS. THIS 79 BEETLE HAS A BEAUTIFUL RED PAINT JOB THAT SHINES VERY BRIGHT AND REALLY STANDS OUT ON THE ROAD. THE BODY IS IN EXCEPTIONAL SHAPE AND IS FREE FROM ANY RUST DINGS OR DENTS. THERE IS ONE SMALL SPOT ON THE HOOD SMALLER THAN A DIME THAT LOOKS LIKE WHERE A CHIP WAS TOUCHED UP. I HAVE A QUOTE OF 410.00 TO REPAINT HOOD BUT I REALLY DO NOT THINK IT IS NECESSARY. THE DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE NICE AS DOES THE HOOD AND TRUNK. THE INTERIOR IS IN VERY NICE SHAPE AND I DO BELIEVE IT TO BE ORIGINAL FROM THE FACTORY THE SEATS ARE GREAT THE HEADLINER IS IN NICE SHAPE AND THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND OPENS AND CLOSES VERY EASILY. THE BEETLE RUNS AND DRIVES BEAUTIFUL AND HAS RECENTLY BEEN TUNED BY CARL FOWLER A 25 YEAR AIR COOLED VOLKSWAGEN SPECIALIST. THE MOTOR STARTS RIGHT UP AND IDLES NICE. THE VEHICLE DOES NEED TO WARM UP IN THE MORNING PRIOR TO DRIVING. ALL AIR-COOLED VW'S SHOULD BE RAN AT IDLE FOR 2 MINUTES PRIOR TO DRIVING THEM IN THE MORNINGS. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS BUT IT IS SUGGESTED BY VOLKSWAGEN THAT YOU DO THIS. THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION WORK PERFECT, THE TIRES ARE IN NICE SHAPE AND GO DOWN THE ROAD QUITE SMOOTH. CARL DID SUGGEST NEW FRONT SHOCKS AND BRAKES WITH A QUOTE OF 400.00 INSTALLED, HE DID NOT DEEM IT MANDATORY BUT ASID IT SHOULD BE DONE IN THE NEXT FEW THOUSAND MILES.
