You have a bug, what year? I just picked one up about 4 months ago, fun little car and love the gas mileage!..   |
Put your seat belt on. Your going to love this.
Its a '72 Super Beetle. When I got it it had been hit in the left rear. So the people hacked( yes HACKED) the rear off and cut up the rear fenders. It also looks like it was pushed into something after getting hit in the rear. So theycut part of the nose of. Then they fit what looked to be late '60's fenders on the front and HACKED the hood to fit a narrow eye nose. Mind you I found most of this after I got it home. The motor, 1600 single port, was sitting behind the car not in it. They said it ran when they pulled it. That there is another story. I found a Baja glass kit for a Super. Here it is as before I started working on it last week. Oh and these pic's do it justice. |
That's a shame how people hack $hit up!. Here's mine the day I picked it up, it's a 65-66 but it's registered as 59,LOL, according to the numbers it has a 71 1600 dual port in it, supposedly it's new and I pulled the valve covers and it's super clean!.. Had to rewire the whole thing and re do the interior, but it's rust free, it's a fun car and it sure gets good mileage!..
