Everything works on this car. It has the original paint, which is in pretty good shape. I have refrained from repainting it. I mean, it's only original once. It does have a couple of minor dime-sized dents and paint scratches which did not show up in the pictures. Hey, it's 37 years old. The previous owner had replaced the driver's side door because someone had backed into it in a parking lot, so it is not original to the car. Other than that, to my knowledge, it has never been in an accident. No rust. As long as I have owned it, it has never seen the rain. It was strictly a Summer Time Driver.

The car still has it's original factory convertible top. It's in great condition. I had a couple of stitching repairs done on the inside, but other than that, it's original. It also has the original convertible top cover. All the glass is in perfect condition.

The only thing that presently needs attention is replacing the Fuel Tank Sending Unit. The gas gauge doesn't read correctly. I'm working on getting that fixed.

Just added one last picture of all the original extra parts that will go with the car. If you are a true original Beetle collector, you will appreciate the value of these parts. Here's a list of what is included:

• Both front seats - a little dusty but both is excellent condition. The backing foam or jute is broken down in the driver's seat. That can all be replaced. The original upholstery is still good
• All the original rubber floor mats
• A set of period correct coco mats
• A complete black vinyl Bra the covers and protects the complete front fenders and trunk lid from stone chip and bugs on a long trip
• The original front drum brakes - still in good condition
• The four original steel wheels - that have some original Michelin XZX 165/15 tires
• Complete set of original lug bolts and an extra set of four new chrome lug bolts (due to the four chrome locking lug bolts for the new wheels)
• An extra fuel filter
• An extra oil filter gasket

Not Shown:

a box full of a couple of hundred dollars worth of various brand new, still in the package body parts - like new window weatherstripping, etc. Not that much was needed, but my original dream was to restore this car to perfect showroom condition.

Thanks for looking! Good Luck! Bid with confidence!
