Purchased in Arizona a couple years back for a restoration project this bug is in great condition. The rear fenders were replaced by the past owner and there in no body ( holes), just slight surface rust on the front. I found a small area behind the drivers seat / chassis that has a 4" long rust area, but outside of that it is an outstanding find! Thanks to the western climate which is so kind to our fine automobiles. The engine is a stock 1200 cc 6 volt system, and looks to be complete, no accessories or modifications, even the stock air box. It runs good and is strong and I drove the car back and fourth to work for a few months this past year. The engine leaks a little from the bottom, but since my intentions were a total original restore I was going to rebuild it anyway. The transmission shifts good but "pops" out of reverse, so you have to hold the stick while in reverse, this would need to be repaired. It has only a drivers seat but I had just purchased (2) used 1968 high back seats to replace the original low back that I do not like anyway. The dash board and steering wheel is original and in great shape, also untouched by modifiers, It seems that this car was kept and driven by an adult with respect to the pure VW era. I have the original fenders which I took off to have re-chromed but did not do so. The mag rims are a cool feature and made in the USA?, wide-5 original bolt pattern. The car can be a daily driver as is, needs to have brakes checked and adjusted, I have not done so. the tires are in good shape and have a few miles left on them. I am only selling this because I have to move and our new location will not permit me to keep all of my projects. Any questions can be emailed to me or I can be contacted Monday - friday 9:30-5:30 Est. at 863 699-1231, ask for Tony Sr. I have restored many VW's in my live, and I can tell you this with 100% accuracy, this is one of the best condition VW's in it's original form and perfect for a show restore project. They are far and few between in this condition these days.
