Transmission is very strong, shifts smoothly Clutch is good This is an original un-restored 1969 VW Beetle made in Germany. This is STOCK, not changed (Except for a 2nd paintjob; which is still the same original factory blue color code). I do not have the time nor energy to go down my list of fix-it's. However, the things it may need in the foreseeable future aren't major ( a few small cosmetic things that a COLLECTOR may be interested in fixing in order to get a trophy!) & I think anybody with a little bit of car knowledge, a little extra time, and some creativity could fix these issues. This car is not a budget breaker! New or used original German parts are easy to find and extremely cheap when compared to other vehicles. Needs E-brake cable = $13 + install. Can put in yourself (may take an hour or so is what Tom Watt's our local mechanic shop owner said) Has Minor/Moderate headliner damage above driver seat, approximately 13 inches long by about 8 inches wide (You may want to take it to the auto upholstery shop, or install a new Original German one yourself for the whopping price of $46.95 online. :) Minor/Moderate wear on driver's seat only. This includes One tear down the center of the seat (roughly 10 inches long, 1/10 of an inch wide) which can be hemmed and fixed without replacing. The value of the car is worth more with the ORIGINAL FACTORY BASKETWEAVE INTERIOR so I wouldn't suggest replacing this (The Original German Basketweave material is downright impossible to find, the market is flooded with cheap aftermarket replacements unfortunately on this one; If you are savvy you could hemm this yourself, but I'd suggest taking it into the classic auto upholstery place off of Gutierrez in Santa Barbara, where it will cost a little over $100 to have it done like it was never there) Needs new Sun-Visors ($7.95 + install, may take up 15 minutes) At some point in the next 5 or so years it will need new window rubbers (very cheap, maybe $30-40 at max, however, apparently installing them is a challenge and may require some time) New Windshield Wiper Blades(rubber part) (Less than $10 and a 5 minute install) Serious inquiries only!! Whoever buys it it will be very happy :) Just take care of it please. Email me or call 805.400.9568 if you have any q's I will take the highest offer or the asking price. Thank You.
