1956 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic

Ragtop

36 hp

Clear

Up for your consideration is this awesome 1956 VW Oval Ragtop.Originally was a Diamond Green? Clear Title. This car has been sitting outside for a long time. It is all there. . At some point the car had a janky exterior repaint that has a excellent patina look to it. The pan from the seat rails back are flint stone material. The front floors are thin with smaller holes. The heater channels have alot of surface rust as do the door pillars towards the front of the car. I didnt find any holes but I'm sure if you dug enough you would have them. The bottoms of the doors have rust. The front apron where the wheel well for the spare tire is also flint stone material. The front and rear aprons are fairly straight but the over rider holes in the front are elongated out.The rear deck lid is not the correct w deck lid. The right rear fender has a nice dent in the side along with a crack and both rear over rider holes beat up. I have 2 rear bumpers that are not pictured that go with the car.There is rust in front of the ragtop assembly towards the windshield. The 36 hp motor is locked up from sitting. The ragtop hardware is all there minus the actual fabric.Wiring looks un hacked. Most all of the interior is there. (including the Motorola radio!)In my opinion this car needs to be separated from the pan. Completely rebuild the pan, running gear brakes wheels tires to your liking. All of the existing body issues could be fixed and blended to the existing look of the car. ( I would source a W deck lid for this) I would clear coat over the top remarry the body and pan and have a cool cruiser. The interior could be left ratty or restored. You would have one helluva patina cruiser! Interestingly in the front area where the vin and vw badge is some yellow writing behind the tag that's still legible perhaps from the factory? I think it says USA special Order? This is a really neat old car that deserves life again. I will help with shipping at buyers expense. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding.
