Many new body seals, all four fender beads, taillight seals, turn signal to body seals, trunk seal, engine bay seal (engine bay seal not installed but included)

Running boards

Dash cover

Front turn signal lenses

The car starts right up, runs fine and drives.

The body is in pretty good shape; the paint shines well and is good for a driver. That said there are a few imperfections (some small dents here or there and maybe some small scratches or drips in paint) but overall looks good. The interior is also in decent shape, I don’t think there are any rips in the seats but they show their age a little, carpet is in pretty nice shape also. Dash has a new molded cover on it, which looks great. The car does have all four hubcaps on it now, in some of the photos they are off from when I had new tires mounted, but are now reinstalled.

The dash reads 52,XXX miles but I don’t know if this is original, miles may have rolled over.

Most of the electrical components work, that said the front turn signals need new bulbs.

Also, it is wired up in the truck with a tow wiring harness for towing with a tow bar (those are the wires seen in the image of the trunk), but I have never tested this system so I don’t know if it works.

I have tried to describe the beetle to the best of my abilities, but if you have any questions please feel free to send me a message through eBay before buying.
