Well it's tax time again so I gotta sell something
Heres my 1970 Beetle that has been saved from a slow death as a meadow muffin and put back on the road.
It sat in a "barn" for 13 years and still has the dirt/mold to prove it. It was originally tan but has 1 respray to black.
There has been a few personal touches added, nothing drastic just a couple cool additions.
The dash pad has been removed and the steel dash has been painted to match the rest of the car. You can see the eagle pull handle for the ash tray above.
The seats have been recovered with brown TMI covers and the carpet has been replaced with a cheap carpet kit. The steering wheel, dash grills and glove box door have all been painted with antique white...really close to the original color of the car actually.
Has a 6 in. narrowed beam with 2.5in. dropped spindles
Frame head 2 in. raised 1 in. moved back and added 8 degrees of caster
Raised fuel tank to clear beam/steering gear and trimmed inner fenders for tierod clearance
New brakes all around
New tires all around 135's and 165's
New pans
New running boards
Replaced package tray
New windshield
New battery
New clutch and cable
New speedo cable...the list goes on I have all receipts
Has 1600 single port runs good and the leaks are small
Roof rack too.
There is also a ratty YOM plate that goes with it. This thing is pretty freaking low for a ball joint car, the beam never touches anything and it rides pretty smooth with 1 230lb driver, 2 people and it's a touchdown on the dips(spare tire well and sometimes pan). Super fun car to drive! The working includes; the dome light and both door switches,speedo,odometer,fuel gauge,all exterior lights,wipers..The not working includes; no heat, no horn, no radio, and I'm pretty sure the defroster grid on the rear window is dead although the light on the speedo says otherwise
.
Got to sell, can't trade, 4000.00 obo
It can be seen 6 days a week at the shop.
Any questions just give me a call
Rick.
If I think of anything else I'll add it in later!
