1976 VW Beetle Convertible Rarity READ THIS

[concoursmotors]

So would anyone be interested in a 76 beetle convertible that is 99 percent original and was painted at the factory a special porsche 914 color and only 2 or 3 exist in the world. The color is a bright green.
It was a wedding gift for someone that is closely connected to the VW family back then.
It has a full leather interior (factory)
It has high pressure washers for the headlights (factory)
It has a rear seat tonneau cover (factory customized)
It has around 40k original miles.
Post your response, I like to get an idea of how special it is.
Anyone out there have something as rare/ different?
Pics to come/ possible sale/ more details later

hmm,sounds interesting. Would like to see a picture of it!.

Probably washer nozzles that spray directly onto the headlamps when the windshield washer is engaged.

Be a neat trick to add to a daily driver.

never heard of such a thing, but i'm curious to see the leather interior and super interested in seeing how the headlight squirters are mounted.

I think some pictures are in order ? I have a client that would be interested and would need to come & inspect it. I'm fairly local (South of Lk Geneva).

Would there be proof in the form of documentation that the car was built this way from the factory and not customized?

Yes I would think the VW birth Certificate would be the proof.
VW seemed to keep good records so I think documentation should be easy.
Karmann built VW convertibles & also 914 bodies it seems very possible they could / would do a custom VW convertible.
PICTURES PLEASE

Not sure the Birth Certificate would be much help. It may show the color but not sure about the custom options since they would not have been in the VW order book.

From my experience they don't show the whole picture. For example, I don't think they show cars that were ordered with an AutoStick.

However, its worth a try.

I didn't get much info on my 76 certificate, but mine wasn't very special. Pics would be interesting.

any comments, want to see something else?
accepting offers and inspections soon.

[concoursmotors]

I can get proof of ducumentation most likely, however based on who is selling it would be proof enough.

[BUGGED11111]

pictures of the whole car would be nice

this is a far cry from a scam as you imply.
I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I was a beetle guy.
Im a bus guy.

the pics don't show anything that would indicate "factory customized". Any of those things could have been added later. I see a pic of a top-boot...is that the "rear seat tonneau cover"? Wolfsburg West color chart shows a Viper Green color available for '76 verts.
Not trying to discredit you, just need real documentation.

[George Evans]

I have a Volks World artical with a Met.Green 74+ something vert. Nothing about that color that special.

[concoursmotors]

actually viper green was a sedan only color from what i understand.
