A BIT MORE RELATING TO THE RARITY.BETWEEN 1949 AND 1980 VOLKSWAGENSOLD 1,970,000 BEETLE CONVERTIBLES.OF THAT TOTAL ONLY 900 WERETHE "EPILOGUE EDITION"ANY CRITERIA QUALIFIES THIS CAR AS RARE.

THE PICTURES ARE RECENT AND THE CAR HASNOT BE TOUCHED, WITH ONE EXCEPTION.WE ALWAYS CHECK THE ENGINE.THE ENGINE IS GOOD AND READY FOR THE NEXT STEP.THAT'S DRAINING THE FUEL AND CLEANING THE TANK.AFTER THAT IT WILL NEED ALL OF THE SYSTEMSGONE THROUGH, TO MAKE IT ROAD WORTHY.LUCKILY VOLKSWAGEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLEFROM MANY SOURCES AND PRICED CORRECTLY.
THE PICTURES ARE ACCURATE TO A FAULT.THEY SHOW SOME SMALL DENTS,SCRAPESAND MISSING PAINT. I WOULD SUGGEST HAVINGTHE CAR PROFESSIONALLY DETAILED ANDTOUCHED UP. THEN DECIDE WHAT TO DO NEXT,SINCE DETAILING MAKES BLACK CARS AMAZING. NOW I WILL TELL YOU WHAT THE PICTURES CAN NOT.UPON CLOSE INSPECTION YOU WILL BE GLAD TO SEETHAT THIS IS NOT ANOTHER RUSTY REPAIRED VW.THIS CONVERTIBLE HAS NO MAJOR RUST ISSUES.KEEP IN MIND IT SPENT HALF IT'S LIFE IN CALIFORNIA.IT DOES HOWEVER HAVE SOME REPAIRABLE RUSTAROUND THE REAR PERIMETER OF THE FLOOR TUB.THIS CAN BE SEEN IN THE PICTURES.THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE FOUND, THE CAR IS SOLID.INCLUDING THE FRONT AREA, THE SPARE TIRE WELLIS ROCK SOLID WITH NO RUST. THE INNER FENDERSAND RELATED AREAS ARE SOLID AND ORIGINALWITH NO PREVIOUS REPAIRS OR UNDERCOATING CAMOUFLAGE. YOU MAY FIND SOME SUPERFICIALRUST. NORMAL WITH ANY VEHICLE OF THIS AGE.ALL OF THE ORIGINAL MATS AND RELATED TRUNKPARTS AND ACCESSORIES ARE ALL STILL IN PLACE.THIS INCLUDES THE TOOLS AND SPARE TIRE,THE WASHER BOTTLE AND TUBE, STILL LIKE NEW.LOOKING AT THE INTERIOR AND YOU WILL NOTICETHE EPILOGUE SPECIAL FEATURES.FIRST THE BURLED WOOD DASHBOARD APPLIQUE,THE AM-FM RADIO AND A PADDED STEERING WHEEL.A CLOSE LOOK AT THE SEATS WILL SHOW THEORIGINAL COVERS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE.HOWEVER THE INTERNAL PADDING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.AN EASY FIX THAT RETAINS THEORIGINAL AND CORRECT SEATING MATERIAL.THE REST OF THE INTERIOR SOFT PARTS ARE STILLIN GOOD DRIVER QUALITY CONDITION.THE SOFT TOP HAS 3 OR 4 SPOTS THAT CAN BECOSMETICALLY REPAIRED, NICE ENOUGH FORA DRIVER QUALITY CONVERTIBLE.
