5 SPEED

THIS IS A "NO RESERVE" AUCTION ON A REPOSSESSED PARTIALLY RESTORED VW BEETLE. THEN ENGINE IS APART AS SEEN IN PHOTOS BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHY, MAYBE FOR MOFIFICATIONS, INSPECTION OR REBUILD?? THE INTERIOR AS YOU CAN SEE HAS BEEN SPRUCED UP WITH NEWER SEATS, STEERING WHEEL AND SOME COOL OPTIONS. THIS IS A 5 SPEED AND NOT SURE IF IT IS THE SUPER BEETLE OR STANDARD. THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS ARE MISSING AND VARIOUS SMALL ITEMS. THERE IS A DENT ON THE ROOF SHOWN IN THE PHOTO. THE CHROME IS LIKE NEW CONDITION, PAINT IS FAIRLY HIGH GLOSS AND NOT MUCH RUST TO SPEAK OF AND CAN BE VERIFIED LOOKING CLOSELY AT THE PHOTOS. A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR A BEETLE GURU OR HANDY MAN THAT WANTS ONE OF THESE AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE. SHOULD ASSUME IT WOULD BE EASIER TO REPLACE THE MOTOR WHICH IS VERY SIMPLE IN THESE BUGGIES. VEHICLE IS AT MANHEIM AUTO AUCTION AND CAN BE PICKED UP THERE BY TRANSPORTER OR BUYER. ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK! GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING! :-)On Jun-07-12 at 18:12:03 PDT, seller added the following information: IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AND I HADN'T THOUGHT OF IT BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THE HEAT EXCHANGERS/MUFFLERS ARE ON THE CAR AND SHOULD ASSUME THEY ARE NEEDED AS WELL.

IT IS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES WITHOUT IT BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT IS KNOWN. THANKS,KEVIN. On Jun-08-12 at 19:45:27 PDT, seller added the following information: THIS IS THE "SUPER BEETLE" MODEL. IT IS A FEW INCHES LONGER AND HAS STRUTS INSTEAD OF SHOCKS IN THE FRONT AND IS THE PREFERRED, MORE POPULAR MODEL.On Jun-09-12 at 07:03:09 PDT, seller added the following information: OK , NOW SOMEONE TELLS ME HERE ON EBAY THAT THIS IS THE STANDARD BEETLE....IS THERE A BEETLE GURU OUT THERE THAT CAN TELL ME BY LOOKING AT IT WHICH IT IS?On Jun-09-12 at 14:04:15 PDT, seller added the following information: IT IS CONFIRMED......A STANDARD BEETLE AS ORIGINALLY LISTED.
