1961 Volkswagen Classic beetle ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA BLACK LICENSE PLATE CAR 3rd OWNER CAR with all floor pan - chassis - engine numbers matching !! AUGUST 1960 CAR :CHASSIS-FLOOR PAN : # 3303055ENGINE : # 5098637 You are looking at a great example of an all original beetle with a gorgeous black exterior look and very clean interior. This Beetle has been well maintained over his 50 years of life by only 3 owners. It is a great experience to drive this carwith original from factory 1200cc /40hp engine and 6 volt electrical system,both in superb working condition and cosmetically beautiful. YOU HAVE FOUND IT !!! ~ EVERYTHING WORKS ON THIS CAR ~ It is quite hard to find a classic car in original/stock condition, most of the cars for sale up there have been modified by updating the electrical system to 12 volts, cutting speaker holes into the body, dashes been cut/modified, suspension lowered, front or back incorrect/aftermarket aprons replaced meaning previous accidents. Odometer shows 60k miles. This is a 3rd owner car and actual miles are 160,000. Everywhere I go with this bug gets many nice compliments or thumbs up while driving, a REAL EYE CATCHER!!
