1966 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic Description

Take this restored beauty to car shows and WIN! I did in 3 of the 4 car shows she was entered into. This head turner is an amazing car! The only thing missing is the new car smell, but she still smells sweet and is very lovable and fun to drive. This car is a beautiful barn find that has had a complete and careful ground up restoration by the previous owner. She only has 38,612 miles on her, so she still has lots of life left in her golden years. This has been a non-smoking car. The restorer of this beauty spent a small fortune to get to this level of quality. According to NADA (National Auto Dealers Association Guide) the High Retail on this car is $21,800. I am willing to let it go for far less as I need to get space in my garage. Maybe you will be the new proud owner.

*New brakes - everything from the metal lines to the brake pads

Note: The heater components are nearly all there, however they are not connected. I drove the car on some of the coldest Illinois winter days when the temp was near zero and was comfortable in my coat, hat, and gloves. It would not take a lot to finish the heater hook up. The car came out of Alabama where the previous restorer lived and did not need the heater there. Note: There is a small dent below the front bumper on the bottom edge of the body. I presume the previous owner bumped into a parking stop. There are a very few paint touch ups around the car. Overall it has a gorgeous shiny paint job. the exterior color is named Lotus White. It is a soft white with a slight green cast. Very pretty!
Payment $500 down is required within 48 hours upon purchase through Pay Pal. The balance is due within 7 days.
Shipping or Pick Up is the responsibility of the buyer. This can be arranged through a national car carrier or you can transport it yourself. Since it is an antique show car, I would recommend hauling it by trailer. Damage during shipping will be the responsibility of the new purchaser or their hauling contractor.
As Is: the car is in very good shape, but sold as is.
