Holy guacamole, is that in nice shape, or what?! 
Here's hoping you keep it stock.

| This is one I struggle with. Love the car and won't find a nicer one with a great story. But I want one to drive. I really don't want to rack up the miles on this one. If I keep it, a Roof rack would be the only add on for me. |

Really nice. But don`t stick an EMPI roof rack on that clean original car. If you have to put a rack on it at all, find an original VW one.

Extremely nice find, I'm jealous!
Be very careful with the seat covers, they split easily. I would find another set of seat for actual use and save those for display only. They are impossible to find as they're one year only and they're not being correctly reproduced.

The boxing is the wrong color, there shouldn't be "tie downs" in the seat bottoms, and I believe the pleats in the face are sewn instead of heat sealed. I have NOS covers for my '64 and I haven't seen any reproductions that match them.

There's been a grave injustice!!!
Why have mice visited my beetle twice just this winter and your car looks like it was kept in a brain surgeon's incubator?
Is Canada unfriendly to our rodent friends? Want me to send you some?

| Very good info on the seats. Thank you. I have no intentions of modifying the car at all. It is only original ones. At this point in time I am not even going to wash the car until I decide what I am doing with it. It can just go into storage in the meantime. As for the mice, yes we have lots of mice here but there are no signs of mice in the car. All I can think of is that the place it was at had lots of cats. If I decide to drive it, I will have to go through the brake system. Is there any specific brands or places to order that stuff from that is better than others? |
