1959 Volkswagen Double Cab Crew dropgate

1959 Volkswagen double cab.

I love this truck. however. some people asked about a price at a show this weekend and i started searching around. and found something else I'd like to drive. If it sells. I get what I want. If not. I keep the truck I love
About the truck. It's an early sept 59. Seamed gates. but not seamed roof. Stock height. 15's. safari's. registered. insured. ready to drive home if you are ready for a road trip in a classic. It's got a very cool look. faded paint. surface rust. something you can't fake. Interior is decent. seats redone. etc. runs drives stops and is registered and insured in the state of Texas. The headlights running lights and brake lights work. the turn signals do not. Probably an easy fix and I will look into it.

The body is in pretty good shape. I bought it from some idiot that lied to me about it's condition. I got it running very well. starts every time. lol. changed the battery. Dp intake seals. tuned. timed. cap. rotor. etc. its. 2 v. trans is a big nut later model. so retains stock height but better gearing. It cruises 65 easily. and I've done 71 mph. All the brakes are redone. new hard lines. new soft lines. new wheel cylinders. new shoes. new front drums. new bearings etc. new shocks all the way around. It grinds a little into 2 nd unless you double clutch. Mechanically it's solid and ready to drive now.

It's pretty clean body wise. The corners. rockers. nose. etc are good. The front floor needs the left and right sides done. but it's still solid and driveable. The rear floor is pretty nice. no rust under the back seat and back to the firewall. That's where they always rust. That stuff is clean. The front cross member has some rust. so does the rear door bottom. otherwise it's pretty clean. The bed is super clean. except an idiot cut a little square in the bed. I have new Garson metal for it. but haven't welded it up. yet. The last gate is new and perfect. blended in. The rear and right gate are original and in decent shape. but rusty at the hinges. Cheap fix if you just want to weld em up. They function as is and I throw bikes in the back and roll all the time.

The seats are reupholstered stock by the best in the business. front and back. Door panels are nice. but i don't have thereof panels or rear door panel. Dash is uncut. Wolfgang safaris are new. One pop out latch was broken and I replaced it with an excellent one. The speedo isn't hooked up. don't know if it works. but it's sunburnt and looks bad. would assume it doesnt. I have been looking for a good one for a good price but haven't found it. The red and green lights do work. I added a new right side mirror. Most of these parts were bought at Wolfsburg west. ISP west or Wolfgang. I added a cigarette lighter for the GPS and i Phone. I added a pretty ridiculous stero system that will be included with the buy it now price only. Sony stereo. with Bluetooth. big JBL 5 channel amp. 2 12 inch audioque 12's under the back seat. etc.

Ive made long distance freeway trips recently with no issues. If you know an air cooled vw. if it does 65 on the freeway for an hour. it'll do it 2000 miles. That said. it's an old truck. Things happen and I can't offer any kind of warrenty. I will assist your shipper. and will even help you find one. Of course you can come check it out in Houston Texas. I do think it would drive anywhere and you would wear out before it did.

The price isn't cheap. It's a 59 double cab. it's got a great look. and it runs and drives well. Find another 59 cheaper. you can't. Please feel free to
