California Original, 1962 VW Bug, Preservation Car, Orig Barn Find, NO RESERVE

1962 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic Classic Bug, Beetle, California Car Additional Info:

This 1962 bug was recently brought out of storage after 35+ years.

-100% virgin nose, structural/jack points and body. All original wiring has been well preserved and everything is in tact (see pics).

This awesome bug is mechanically sound and it runs and drives extremely well. It is an original 6 volt system with a 40 hp 1300 cc engine. The engine runs like a top and is in great tune. No leaks, smoke, or strange noises. Really nice!!!!! We went through the fuel system, installed a new 6 volt battery, new brake hoses and master cylinder (stops on a dime). The car received a minor tune up and the end result is a fantastic running bug. The clutch is perfect and shifting through all the gears is easy......The entire drive-train is solid/tight and cruising down the road is an absolute pleasure.....

The car has an original king pin front end, original smoothie wheels, good tires (old but in decent shape) and original interior. The car is rust free with the exception of the battery tray/passenger floor-pan. The driversside floor is rock solid. There is no rot anywhere else on this car and it has always been in California since new. Take a close look at the body it is truly amazing and completely authentic without a single notable dent with the exception of the front valenceunderneath bumper. The paint is obviously very old and has a lovely patina which is quite attractive. The car is complete. The interior is completely untouched. The odometer, speedometer and fuel gauge all work. The headlights, taillights and running lights also work.

-Windshield has a split down the middle

-All other glass looks good

This is truly a special find the way it sits and being a preservation car makes it that much more desirable. This bug has never been messed with in an unsavory way, cut up, or restored (rare). Bugs in this shape are becoming increasingly harder to find and rapidly increasing in value.

This is the perfect car to drive and enjoy as-is, or restore to perfection. The car has a tremendous amount of character and will always put a smile on your face.

The new owner will be very impressed with this car. This is a NO RESERVE auction so the high bidder will be the lucky new owner.
