I am selling my 1976 Super Beetle Convertible. It is partially restored and I have taken it as far as I want to go. It is a daily driver and I mean that seriously! I drive it to work sometimes,which is a 70 mile round trip. It drives down the road like a new car. I am not the type of bug owner to get the car so perfect as to be afraid of every scratch and paint chip. Some of you are. Professionally paint this baby and you’ll have a 15,000 car!

The good:

Decent paint done with a can. No shine but no drips. No body rust. Trim in good shape.

Newer tires (about 5K on them)

Chrome hubcaps and chrome wheels

Clean interior with carpet on sides, ubber floor mats. New seat covers.

Decent radio with speakers in door.

New wipers

One new tie rod, ront bearings greased

Engine removed and all gaskets and seals replaced

Converted from FI to carb. New plugs, ires, istributor cap and wires.

New engine compartment casket

Heater boxes patched. Heat works great, ven in Wisconsin

Starts easily; couple pumps and it fires right up

New electric fuel pump

New spare tire. Jack and tools present

Probably more but I can’t recall right now

The bad:

This is a daily driver, ot a show car. The paint is even and consistent, ust not glossy. To restore it completely, t should be professionally painted.

The floor pans are rusty in places. They are patched (temporarily) behind the driver seat and where the battery is.

The area around the frame head has some rust. Nothing that could not be treated and patched but the body would need to come off.

The main engine seal (by the clutch) still leaks a little at high speeds but not while the car is just sitting.

The vert top works and looks fine but has one hole on the right rear side that has been patched. There is also no interior lining. I have an extra new top that will come with the car.

The new seat covers are the wrong style and do not fit like they should. Not a big deal though as they still look fine.
