Vehicle Detail
Check this out,I have a VERY unique, rare and special 60 Bug. This car is something special. If you are looking for a great car to build, I have it. I have owned this car for over 25 years. It has been in our barn, patiently awaiting its resurrection. Don't be fooled by the funky pictures. This car is super solid. It's been tucked in between stuff for many years. It is now time for someone to build this car. What makes this car special? Several things:*1960 VW Beetle (very difficult to find a SOLID/STRAIGHT early bug these days)*Factory 3-fold sliding ragtop sunroof (very few '60 bugs were sunroof cars)*Factory semaphore car (European ONLY!)*Factory "ice pick" door handle doors (extremely RARE! these are "left-over" door handles FROM THE FACTORY! European models sometimes would use remaining parts from earlier years, until the parts ran out. this creates unusual combinations, making a car like this EXTREMELY RARE!When you combine ALL of these elements together, you have something that would be a "one of a kind", especially 56 years after it was built!This car has not been seen by ANYONE for over 25 years! It sits on a nice lowered 1966 swingaxle pan, with a lowered ball-joint front beam, BRAND NEW (25 years ago, when pans were high QUALITY) floor pans installed. It has the original early style "big mouth" gas-cap-type gas tank. Body is SUUUUUPER straight!!! These doors just "CLICK" shut. Check those door gaps! The dash is original and UNCUT. The car's restoration started in 1990, with the body being pulled and the original floorpans removed and new heavy gauge pans were installed, the body was set back on, and then all further work stopped. It was rolled into the shed and there it sat, for the last 25 years. There is an engine that will come WITH the car. it is a "running when pulled" 1600 dual port with a NEW stock carburetor, excellent heater boxes. The car also has new polished aluminum wheels and tires. Interior is pretty bare: 2 front early lowbacks, and the rear seat. Rather a restoration, this car just needs BUILDING. Great and solid heater channels and door mounts. This car was absolutely a hen's tooth when built, ESPECIALLY now in 2016. This is the car that no one else will have in your vw circle. Guaranteed! This car isn't for everyone. But, it will definitely ring your bell if you are a RARE car enthusiast! Winning bidder is responsible for making a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $500 within 72 hours, balance due within 7 CALENDAR DAYS. No exceptions. Also, being that this is a 56 year old car, no warranty is given, expressed, implied, expected. This is a good and solid builder, that will need usual restoration / rebuilding. There will be no release of responsibility to complete the purchase for any reason. I have decided to sell my very special Beetle, and have no intentions of relisting. You bid, you bought. Just being clear, in advance. ;>) I will be more than happy to assist your transport company (if you decide to have it shipped) in the loading of the car, for free. Winning bidder is responsible for ALL costs associated with the transport of this car. I cannot provide or assist in the procuring of shipper. I will, however, be available 24/7 for when they are here to pick up the car. volkswagen volkswagon beatle bug buggy porsche type 1 2 3 4 air cooled aircooled import german semafore semaphores combi bus campmobile deluxe micro microbus
