76 Beetle Cabriolet - for sale

squizy · 2005-06-21T06:42:55+00:00

It is with much regret that I am advertising my 76 Cab for sale that I've had for the past 3 years. Due to another bub on the way, there is just too much capital tied up in it at the moment. The Beetle is a 10 year old restoration, so has some daily wear and tear signs with a couple of nicks on the door edges and fenders. There is only one spot of rust and that is at the base of the right wiper - this may be fixed shortly depending on funds. Other than that the car is straight with all channels clean. The car is regularly maintained by Andrew Dodd, and for those who know of his work will know that he's good. Brakes were done last year, as was a replacement rack and pinion. The car is a American import, running a 1600 FI motor with air conditioning and all polution gear. The heaters work very nicely too. A new hood was put on about 7 years ago, and is clean and leak free. The car has been lowered front and rear and is running 135/165's on original Empi Sprintstars. The Sprintstars have been sandblasted and powdercoated - and it is a full set of 5. A replacement set of standard height struts will also come with the car. There is also a 7 month old detachable CD player and speakers. The car will come with 12 months NSW registration. Please U2U or email me if you're interested at taylorpaul66@hotmail.com Contact:- Paul Taylor Location:- Gosford NSW Price:- $17000 ono Car is insured with Shannons for $19,000 nn[ Edited on 14-9-2005 by squizy ] [ Edited on 7-11-2005 by squizy ]

Hi...the price is still as is, but now on Ebay again.

Standards rims will bolt straight on - I will even supply a set of good condition rims, but why would you want to take off the Sprintstars?? :thumb

Got my eye on something, and hoping I don't miss out, hence price drop and now on Ebay.

Car looks great. Price is great too. We are restoring a 72 cabrio and it will end up costing more than you are asking for this and we don't have air conditioning.

Have some patience and the right buyer will come along because it is very good value.

By the way, we also have the NB Cabrio to go with the 72. (and a 72 ghia vert)

Prospective buyer unfortunately had to pull out due to urgent personal issue.

More pictures available of pan - and even the imperfections for those interested.

Wow... if I didn't have mine I'd get that for sure.

Since it's red and goes faster, here's a free bump for you!

How sweet would that be over summer! (well, up your way anyways 😀 )

Can't believe it hasn't sold yet. Have you tried Just Cars magazine?
