SUMMARY

This classic VW was purpose-built with quality parts to be a reliable

daily driver, that also shows well at events and cruise nights.

This bug drives great, sounds good and turns heads wherever we go.

It starts easily, runs strong and does not leak!

Comes with tow bar and car cover. The photos have a weird hue from all of the smoke in the sky today.  This car was listed before but with a bigger engine and T-bar bumpers. Turns out people aren't interested in a hotrod Super Beetle so I put the new stock 1600 engine in and added new bumpers. Drives like a dream and goes down the highway great. Here is a link to a short youtube video walk around including cold start: https://youtu.be/iP36WwI4IPE

Here is the link for a very detailed video with commentary: https://youtu.be/CKB-6D6s9Bw  (obviously, the bumpers and engine are different).

Interested parties are encouraged to see the car in person before bidding. Buyer responsible for pickup/shipping...I can help with whatever coordination is needed on this end.  Thanks for looking!
