So about the beetle, atching Numbers beetle, .7/10 Paint job looks great. All electrical works, urn signals, ights, ipers... Even the heater works, very well) which is very rare on these bugs lately..
Matching Numbers motor (9)August 1960 through July 19651200cc5, , 40
Exterior I gave that rating, ecause it is very clean but there are a few door dings from being a driven to stores, ut no scratches what so ever. There is a tiny scratch in front of the car the width of a hair, bout 3 inches behind the front bumper, assanger side. The paint looks just as good as it does in the pictures! Please if you are bidding and have some one in the area that wants to come look at it, ou are more then welcome to swing by. Im very confident about this, nd trying to describe the car as best as I can.
The Interior I give a 9.1/10 its really nice in my opinion! Seats are comfy, nd carpet and upholstery around is very clean.
I give it that rating because the seats and carpet are honestly perfect!! The headliner is great and tight, ut theres one tiny hole, y the dome light.. Panels are clean and seam original. Also the headliner seems original, did some repairs myself to it.. on the back end and looks really nice. You can see in the pictures.. But Im pretty sure the headliner is Original. The dash is clean, ut has a few chips around chrome trim on glove box. And on bottom by carpet by door jam there is shoe scuffs.. From the rubber, ut may buff out most likely.
This thing starts right up on first click, o gas needed.. Drives amazingly, hifts very smooth!! Motor is quiet. But the exhaust still tweets like a beetle should. :)
The ride is very smooth and I can keep up on the freeway no problem.
Yes it has been converted to 12 volt.
Still has maintenance records on door jam.
Pan is very clean, ody is straight, nd windows are clean, ree of scratches. Roll up and down very smoothly.
All Doors lock and unlock with same key of ignition.
I have some extra parts, ike the rubbers between body and bumper supports, nd front upper bumper supports, took them off originally to paint the faded original ones, ut ended up buying new ones. So I have both. I also have a new clutch that I may throw in.
Heres a little walk around of the car running, lso I lifted the spare tire to show the condition of the tub.
