In 1984 The owner passed away when the car had aprox 40. 00 miles. the car was put in the garage and covered. it was exercised another 20. 00 miles over the next 31 years. The present condition of the car is excellent. a recent complete service and this beetle runs like it did new in 1972. There is something about a car that has never been restored. they drive tighter the doors shut tighter and everything about the car is just far better than a car that has been restored.
