This is a good example of really re- thinking your personal taste when you are going to try and resell for over the top price

new meaning for the word survivor At least they are not saying it is restored.
survivor; Un-restored original car with little work other than maintenance done. Typically original paint, interior, engine, etc. No restoration work done.

Red Paint is possibly 3rd over yellow and original.
Carb just rebuilt. Engine is NOT original to the car,
Car was converted to 12v in the late 80's
Rear apron, left rear fender, possibly left door and right front quarter panel were replaced
When I bought the bug it had been setup to be towed behind a motor home with 71 taillight and front turn signals! I installed brand new correct turn signals
All German metal except Brazilian deluxe bumpers
Heater channels were replaced from A pillar to B pillar at this time
|
So what exactly survived?
