Here is your opportunity to buy an Original California Blue Plated Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. This California car was a solid straight car to start. The next step. The process needed to get a classic back on the road and be confident you have chosen the right vehicle. This is the largest task when buying a classic car. The amount of work and time involved in this process is extensive, long, tedious and costly. All the time wanting the project to be completed so you can enjoy the summer sun and fun.
