Nice man your bug came out clean!! I have had a 72 super beetle conv. for a few years now and have done lots of work to mine as well including the auto stick to manual conversion, 1641, roller rockers, lowering kit in front ect. but last october after i got all the work done that i was going to do for a while a woman T-boned me and messed up my driver side a bit but the frame is still straight, man it pisses me off!!! Im actually selling mine right noww on craigslist. I have a pic of it on my profile.

 

Very nice

 

64' with 63' rag top.

 

man that is so clean!

i love the pin-striping. Stock motor?

 

Yeah 1600 w/ dual webers.

 

That is seriously really clean man, congrats and a well done job.

coming back to this thread really makes me miss mine

 

Thank You! They are fun little cars. everyone relates to them well.

 

I told my wife that ill be doing another bug project sometime in the next handful of years haha. She was fine with it cuz she loved that car too.

 

I can haz?

 

Ahhh an oval window

 

I went and checked out the car yesterday. It looks MUCH better in the pics than it does in person

Needs body work, paint, interior, even the rag top is gunna need an over haul.

I told him good luck getting anything close to 4500 for it. I sold mine in great condition for 4300.

 

Yeah... as soon as you put ragtop and oval window in the same sentence people think they have a goldmine on their hands.

 

Naw this one was just a ragtop. Ya you have a little more value there, but deff not close to what he was asking.

My 69 was in the same shape as his when i bought mine and paid $800 for it. Thats why i said i wouldnt pay more than $1500 for the ragtop in the condition.

Crazy because the rear oval windows are pretty rare to find and i found that one i posted earlier. Then yesterday ANOTHER one popped up on craigslist. It was 100% restored and they were asking like $10,000 for it! Whats even crazier is that the listing is already gone

 

Might go check out a RHD bug on Friday haha

I have had it a couple of years. now I'm ready to sell. Gets lots of looks, but it's not a show car by any means, just a fun unique car. Interesting trades considered, 4 wheeler jet ski, high end vintage stereo. 5900 OBO
