As you can see its fairly rusty but would make a good driver for a few years before restoration. I am going to put a complete engine gasket set including a crank seal. Also i have a new fuel sender for it and new rear wheel cylinders, rear rubber hoses and rear brake hardware kit. I will probably install all of that first. The paint is about 20 years old bt looks pretty good from 20 feet away. The top is nice but has a little tear at the very front edge. It could use new carpet and front seat covers. What would be a realistic price i could get for this?

It looks like it's missing the convertible sills. Without them it's worth very little to anyone who knows verts.

What do you mean convertible sills?

A lot depends on where you live.
I'd bet on the left coast, that's a $1500 car at best. Being in MN, you should be able to get maybe twice that.
I know this guy He was asking $6500. It's been a hard sell.

If you're not selling it, then what does it matter?

Those are what stiffens a Convertible, since they dont have a steel roof.

Could i still get around 3k for it once i get the engine gasket kit in and a new exhaust on it? That way it would atleast run good and move around. I wouldn't drive it on the road until the brakes are all redone.

i bought a 1970 sedan with a 1600 dp barely any rust and a newly rebuilt engine. No paint no back seat and it was missing alot of things but basically its a great start for only 900 and my 69 had band new paint and the interior was alot better than yours and i paid 2200 so i doubt you'll get 3000. but i could be wrong and i hear over hear on the west side bugs are almost half of the price on the east.

Yes thats the same car. I think i'll get the engine out, put the crankshaft seal in and the engine gsket kit, and plugs and plug wires and put it on ebay.

Look what this one sold for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volkswagen-Beetle-C...enameZWDVW

And the paint is worse and it doesn't even run. It looks rougher than mine.
