Note about transmission: automatic transmission was recently replaced with brand new rebuild kit; needs some work (car not drivable at present).   Transmission work needed has been priced between $800-$2000. Odometer reads 19. 14. most of that coming from test driving by the Garage in Mount Holly. New Jersey. as I received the car completed from them with nearly 12. 00 of those miles and a new engine.  Any transmission-related questions should be directed to them (609. 387. 3031) 

Also included:
- front seat covers
- car cover
- new front window frame (uninstalled)
- several unused "53" gumballs
- original 1962 VW Owner's Handbook published by Floyd Clymer.

Constant head turner. Need to sell now. Have many more photos. including resto work and many receipts for both resto work and maintenance . Car brought me great joy. was a dream come true. Just needs a good home (and somebody that knows a thing or two about Type 3s). It is a one of a kind. Feel free to email or call with any questions.

Asking price is well below the $ invested. Only serious bidders please.
