Description
Cute Little Sunroof BugReady to Cruise VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: VEHICLE HISTORY: The current owner bought this sunroof beetle for his wife in 2010. It has been serviced regularly and she loved driving it and taking it to shows. The engine was rebuilt just before he bought it. We recently installed a new front axle beam. steering damper. steering box. steering box coupler. and sway bar mounts. She got a motorcycle and rides that more than driving the Beetle. so this one is ready for a new owner to drive and enjoy. MARQUE HISTORY: The Series 3 (Square Window) Beetle was made from 1958 to 1964. For the Series 3 the small oval window was replaced with a more functional rectangular one and it also received a larger windshield. The interior became a bit more modern making these cars very good daily drivers today. The Series 3 Beetle is a distinctive vehicle that is fun to drive. economical to operate and easy to maintain!
