Vehicle Detail
You are bidding on a very nice, unmolested, rust free, 1975 VW Super Beetle Convertible. The cars runs well and has been garaged. It has plenty of pep, no smoke, tracks well, does not drift, stops well, shifts well, and is a lot of fun to drive. Everywhere it is parked, comments abound. It is not a frame off restoration or concourse vehicle; it has the normal wear and tear of a daily driver. It is very well preserved and myself and the previous owner put a lot of time and money into the car to make it nice. I am selling only because I need to thin out the stable for an impending move to Tennessee. This lovely car must go. A list of what has been done by myself or the previous owner is listed below and in no particular order: Converted to carburetor by previous owner: early fuel injection units were problematic.Front brakes converted to disc by previous owner: Karmann Ghia exact fitNew quality fabric top and exact factory color repaint job by previous owner: superb qualityNew quality fabric black boot to cover top when downNew brake pads and chrome wheel coversNew fuel gauge and bulbs in speedometerRebuilt heater and defroster system: cables, ducts,levers,rods, etc. New halogen headlights and very brightNew carpets in trunk and throughout carSeats front and rear professionally restoredClutch adjusted and replaced by previous owner.Front wheel bearings repacked, one wheel cylinder replacedNew battery tie down, cables, points, condenser, plugs, valve adjustment, oil and transmission fluids changedNew rear shocksOriginal Radio Rebuilt professionallyNew windshield washer system installed (electric): red button on the dashParking brake adjusted, new fuel capVarious interior parts replaced: Grip for top, arm handle, outside mirrors, inside light, horn rebuilt Two separate talented VW specialists went through this bug and we literally fixed whatever was wrong. I was going to have the engine overhauled and both said I was wasting my money. The car just runs that well: It starts right up, shifts well, and is fun to drive. Everywhere I drive it, park it, or stop at a stoplight: I get many compliments and stories about their bug.... I have priced the reserve very fairly and will not divulge it. Including the cost of the car, I have over $16,000 invested. Issues: fuel gauge reads 3/4 full when it is full. Not much else comes to mind: body is in great condition; no rust on floor pans, underneath looks great. I will apologize in advance for some of the pictures will be rotated and I have done my best to fix them but to no avail.
