Hello all, I am going to keep this ad brief as possible. The pictures tell the story and no need to rattle on when it is clearly obvious this is a high quality super beetle Convertible . The car was recently restored with a frame off restoration and over $10,000.00 invested with the bottom side as nice as the top ,even the original gold bolt washers were restored back beautifully. The engine is fresh dual port 1600 CC built back to stock specs . The clutch,transmission and tranaxles have been checked and replaced if needed. In a nut shell this car is as good as it gets but if you are one of those that expect a beetle to be the same quality as a Mercedes then your barking up the wrong tree. This is in better condition then the day it was made and I am not going to go back and forth on every last inch. I have video walking around the car and there should be no disappointments unless you are so unrealistic and expecting a show car or museum piece. This is a life long California car and has a clear open California title . If from California you will never need a smog certificate ever again . Again so I do not get questions about condition ,Everything works ,No Rust anywhere, New interior,New Convertible top,padding and headliner, New engine, clutch and brakes, and for those that want to fly in and drive home. This car has a fresh motor and should not be driven over 55 mph until broken in about 500 miles according to Volkswagen. There is really no more to say but if you do have a question I will be more then happy to answer it or if you want to come view the car or hire and independent inspector prior to bidding or end of auction you may contact me at (805) 423-4559 . If you see the pictures the Windshield is not installed yet. The Brand New one should be here and professionally installed on Tuesday. I also have an antenna that is also included for the new owner. Last the rims that are on the car actually belong to another car but if you like them I can get 4 brand new rims no nicks or scraps brand new for you for free. Terms: No Deposit but phone call or email within one hour of end of auction and if your the lead bidder the day of the end of auction and won't be around please either call me at (805)423-4559 or email with letting me know your intentions . Your word is your deposit. If I don't hear back from winning bidder I reserve the right to offer a second chance offer or to re-list. If you are caught inflating the bids for personal gain or just to be messing around , you will be turned into ebay and your bid will be cancelled and you will be banned from ever bidding on my auctions. I have great feedback for a reason. I do what I say and I say what I do. Full payment in 3 days 72 hours by bank wire transfer,bank certified funds over nighted or of course cash in person. The car is 30 plus years old and is being sold as is and all sales are final. The car is located in beautiful wine country here off the central coast of California. If not from Paso Robles or California , Paso Robles has ranked in the top 3 best cities in America to live in and ranked number 7 last year so this is a very nice area . Thanks for looking and please check back for more pictures and video.

Also I almost forgot I am adding more pictures and video of the floor ,engine and a car ride around town. I apoligize for not having all the pictures and video on sooner but it has been raining very hard so I have not taken the car out of the garage.On Feb-21-11 at 08:24:45 PST, seller added the following information: Im removing the reserve that I set of $7500 and opening this up absolutly no reserve. With the no reserve there is no complaints no apology from buyer or seller . The window was removed for a quality paint job and not a cheap mask job where there is overspray all over the windows. I travel all over California finding only the very best Beetle and Super Beetle Convertibles. I have sold to Florida,Iowa,Illinios,Indiana,Maryland,Nevada.Arizona.Texas,Kansas,Arkansas.Georgia and Oregon, In the past 12 months. I have sold out of Country to Germany.Neatherlands,Canada,Austrialia,Norway, over the past 5 years. I had a partner for many years that Handeled the ebay end of things and we had 100s of positive feedback but because of the economy he went back to working in the steel factory. I have been restoring Beetles for many years and know a good one from a bad one and this is a good one. Im not "GETTING RID" of the car I restored the car to be sold and I have over $10,000 in the car including my labor. If you would rather try your luck with someone who is"getting rid" of there car , be my geust. I painstakenly take the time to Picture,Video everylast inch if buyer request.On Feb-21-11 at 18:12:11 PST, seller added the following information: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_0jTJUaDGU Back of the car with the glass window installed in the new convertible top...
