Description

Sold my buggy once but didn't work out so listing it again. Felt it was a sign for me to keep her but I just don't drive it much anymore. Really want someone who appreciates her and will take her out for people to enjoy. I built the car 36 years ago from a 69 beetle and an old mid 60's Spider style 500 buggy that an older friend of mine had and later stored in a barn. I stumbled across it by chance talked the guy into selling it to me dug her out and took her home. I had to scrap the frame and engine. Took a good panshortened it 13" overhauled the engine and put it back together. Aneccentric body shop guy I worked for painted a base of silver metal flake then airbrushed green black and blue with the help of a bottle of jack.. Thenclear coated withimron which has held up impeccably. It has been stored inside the whole time also. The interior was completely redone and is like new. Has a rumble seat in back that flips up to reveal battery. The only thing I would do to it is have thecarburetor rebuilt possibly. It gets so much attention when I take her out. Definitely one of a kind! This buggy body style was similar to the one featured in the 60's Monkee's TV show.Also referred to as a "glitter bug" but is not an actual branded glitter bug....
