1970 white Beetle 1500 4 speed manual. The car is in Canberra, is unregistered and does not drive. It does roll easily enoug though.
Sadly I have decided that I need to sell this car after having big plans to restore it. I'll probably get another one eventually.
Excellent project car for a Beetle enthusiast.
Engine not running but a spare excellent used 1600 (well, we think that it is a 1600) motor which can be swapped in, can be purchased for an additional $500, or can be negotiated into the deal somehow. The spare motor does not leak oil and is believed to have been rebuilt a couple of years ago. I saw it running before purchasing it (thanks to Kevin from this forum!).
I was going to restore this car myself and have always wanted a Beetle, but other pressures in life have stopped me from continuing. I started to buy new parts for the car and can discuss including these in the sale with the buyer.
The car is complete but needs some new parts to be cosmetically restored. Has a fairly poor exterior and interior. If you didn't want to do a full restoration, it could probably be put back on the road with a clean up and not too much effort overall once the engine was replaced. It was registered a few years back before the engine died. Note that the engine in the car cannot be re-used, even if it was rebuilt (long story). There is probably rust in the floor but a replacement partial floor pan from a wreck is possibly available.
Asking $400 negotiable for the car only as is, or $800 for the car plus the motor. Shipping can be arranged if required.
More photos can be made available on request.
