1969 Beetle For Sale
I have just been asked to get a Beetle through an MOT and after that its up for sale . Its not mine but I have been asked to sell it. It looks a lot better than most and here are its details:
Beetle is a 1969 1500 model
Gearbox is still the original 1500 version
Engine is a replacement 1300 twin manifold
Exhaust is a twin silencer box
New battery
Front beam is an adjustable version
Has been lowered all round
Has genuine vw marathon beetle wheels, including spare. All 4 on the car have only had a few hundred miles driven on then.
Exterior chrome work removed prior to re-spray
Front valance and rear valence to pre 67 panels.
Rear valance is removable and exhaust ports covered
Bonnet and bood lid to pre 67 versions
All 4 wings are pre 67 style day mouldings fiberglass wings
Head lights are pre 67 with inner indicator bulbs
Alluminium bumper bars added
Heater channels were solid
Roof guttering solid
Battery tray solid
Battery is new only 2 months ago
Underside has been painted in hammarite paint
Running board and wing bolts replaced with stainless steel versions
Issues known
Damaged drivers side door by bottom hinge
Chipped paint scrape on roof which was painted in
Rear valance has a drill hole in from a previous number plate mount.
Engine bay lid held in place by split pin (was enough to get it through previous mots though not ideal as involves putting hand through and around exhaust (careful if hot))
Window winder mechanisms faulty. Have to pull window up whilst winding up to get past half way on drivers side.
The interior needs work too but its an off white colour so spares are common
Once I have MOTd it anybody interested will be able to come and see it
Would make good buggy conversion but imho its to good for that
