1960 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic

WITH GREAT PLEASURE I AM OFFERING MY FRIENDS 1960 EURO MODEL VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE THAT RECIEVED AN EXTENSIVE PAN-OFF RESTORATION WITH NO EXPENSE SPARED. MY FRIEND PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A GENTLEMEN  IN TENNESSEE THAT HAD IT FOR 6 YEARS USING IT AS AN OCCASIONAL DRIVER UNTILL  HE DECIDED TO TREAT IT TO A FULL RESTORATION TO BRING HER BACK TO HER ORIGINAL GLORY. OK WELL MAYBE NOT COMPLETELY ORIGINAL AS HE ALSO WANTED TO GIVE IT THAT COOL CALIFORNIA VIBE. THIS INCLUDED LOWERING IT A BIT AND SETTING IT UP ON A SET OF BRM WHEELS THAT I HAVE NOW CHANGED TO ORIGINAL BUT IS INCUDED IN SALE, UPGRADING THE MOTOR AND ADDING FRONT DISC BRAKES. HE WANTED A COOL V-DUB THAT COULD BE DRIVEN ANYWHERE AND TURN AS MANY HEADS ALONG THE WAY. I THINK YOU WILL AGREE THAT HE ACOMPLISHED HIS GOAL. THE CAR HAS ONLY 1,000 TO 1,500 MILES SINCE RESTORATION AND MY OWNERSHIP. THE PAINT ON THIS BABY IS THE ORIGINAL COLOR MANGO GREEN AND LOOKS FANTASTIC ON HER. THE BODY IS EXTREMELY SOLID AND STRAIGHT NO RUST WHAT SO EVER. THIS IS A EUROPEAN MODEL THAT IS VERY RARE AND HAS THE COOL SEMAPHORE TURN SIGNALS THAT POP OUT AND BLINK BETWEEN THE FRONT AND BACK WINDOWS. ALL THE CHROME AND TRIM LOOKS CLOSE TO NEW. SOME SLIGHT MODIFICATIONS FROM ORIGINAL INCLUDES THE DELETION OF THE BUMPER OVER RIDERS AND THE FRONT FENDERS HAVE THE NEW STYLE TURN SIGNALS MOUNTED AS WELL. BODY PANEL FIT IS EXELLENT ALTHOUGH NOT FLAWLESS IT IS PRETTY DARN CLOSE, I NOTICED A FEW THINGS YOU WILL SEE ME POINT OUT IN PICS BELOW. GLASS ALL LOOKS GREAT AND ALL NEW WEATHERSTRIPPING REPLACED. IN THE FRONT TRUNK YOU FIND A NEW FUEL TANK AND NICELY CARPETED ARE THAT LOOKS LIKE NEW. THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FLOORPANS LOOK AS GOOD AS THE EXTERIOR BEING THEY WHERE REPLACED. THE MOTOR IN THE CAR IS A COMPLETELY REBUILT 1600CC THAT WAS NICELY DETAILED. SHE DOES 65 DOWN THE HIGHWAY EASILY WITH THE FRESHLY REBUILT 3.88 FREEWAY FLYER TRANSMISSION GEAR AND BERG SHIFTER. AS YOU ALSO NOTIED THIS BEETLE HAS A NICE STANCE DUE TO HAVING INSTALLED AN ADJUSTABLE FRONT BEAM AND REAR LOWERING PLATES. BRAKES WERE UPGRADED TO FRONT DISC AND STOP NICELY. COMPLIMENTING THE NOSTALGIC MANGO GREEN EXTERIOR IS A MATCHING MANO GREEN  AND TAN INTERIOR THAT LOOKS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW. EVERYHING WAS REPLACED AT THE TIME OF RESTORATION INCUDING TWO TONE DOOR PANELS, FRONT AND REAR SEATS, HEADLINER WAS REPLACED AND UPGRADED TO MOHAIR STYLE NOT THAT CHEEP VINYL TYPE. THE DASH IS SO SIMPLIISTIC BUT LOOKS SO CLASSY WITH ALL NEW IVORY COLORED KNOBS AND CHROME TRIM. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL IVORY AND CHROME STEERING WHEEL BUT NOT ON THE CAR AT THE MOMENT. TUCKED AWAY INSIDE THE GLOE BOX IS MODERN AM/FM/CD STEREO UNIT WITH SPEAKERS NEATLY MOUNTED BEHIND BACK SEAT. ELECTRICAL WAS UPGRADED TO 12V AND COMPLETELY REDONE. 4 SPEED SHITER WAS UPGRADED TO BERG SHIFTER WHICH SHIFTS SMOOTHLY.  AT THIS POINT HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE HOW GORGEOUS AND BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED THIS CAR IS. IT HAS THE RIGHT COLOR, THE RIGHT STANCE AND THE RIGHT LOOK!  THESE BEETLES ARE QUICKLY RISING IN VALUE AND THIS ONE IS SURE TO MAKE A GREAT INVESTMENT. I ALSO WELCOME OVERSEAS BUYERS AND CAN ASSIT WITH GETTING THE CAR TO PORT.  PLEASE CHECK OUT ALL 80 PICS BELOW AND A LINK TO A YOUTUBE VEDEO WERE I WALK AROUND THE CAR.  $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTIONS END..  YOUTUBE LINK      https://youtu.be/G6p9Vvd8dpI
