76 Beetle Cabriolet - for sale

squizy ·

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

OH YOU BASTARD... me no $...

Doug Sweetman ·

Say it aint so Squiz !

Itd break my heart to lose a beetle that nice..... 🙂

Best of luck with the sale, hopefully it will end up with someone who visits the forum.

BTW, from your description and price this is a pretty competitive buy for a late model cabrio, esp. considering it has air con too.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! (on the impending arrival, not selling your car! That's awesome news!!)

Shame that Rod wouldn't let me buy it. Wouldn't it be grand to have a classic cabrio and a new one ??????

OH no Squizy!! But can understand your reasoning....wow a new bub.. sweet

Have you had any takers from Carsales?

squizy ·

No takers yet......🙁

blutopless2 ·

i'm sure you'll sell squiz... i think it has to be seen up close and personal to be trully appreciated.

mscabrio ·

Surely we could find the money somewhere Rod ?????? Imagine that new cab, original cab and oval. What a fleet?

squizy ·

Price drop. 😵‍💫nn[ Edited on 27-7-2005 by squizy ]

squizy ·

Still for sale....


Fossil ·

ah banana splits - oh it's the cab - patience Squ12y the right buyer will come

mscabrio ·

I so badly want that cab. Can I layby it for 30 years? I could give you Rod in place of it ? I am sure that he would be good at changing nappies and getting up for 2am feeds (although I have to add, he makes little babies cry. He makes my goddaughter cry all the time ......)

I hope someone from Here takes up the purchase of this beautiful Karmann 1303S Cabrio.....

If only I had won lotto.... but I didn't....

Best of Luck with the sale....

i thought this would of sold by now.. still best of luck man..

squizy ·

Don't think I'll sell it on here as most people like to do their own projects. If you know anyone though, pass this on.

slowbay70 ·

what kind of engine? and what is the price now?
not to be rude, but could you put the original vw rims and hubs back on with out much drama?

Pretty sure it is a late fuel injected 1600

They will bolt straight on.

If you like i will give you a set of powder coated steel rims in silver / grey if you buy this car

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

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7182953475&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

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

Fossil ·

geeze squiz thought it would have sold by now

squizy ·

Me too....summer's coming, so hopefully she'll go soon.

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

slowbay70 ·

i just like the rounded look, just a thing you know, i love it really and i hate to have to pass on it...really i love it...damn...where is my money tree???

Bumpity bumpskins.

Yogie ·

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)

Yogie

squizy ·

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



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

squizy ·

Still for sale - Will now come with 12 months rego.

Summer's coming!

Fossil ·

🤪

squizy ·

Yup....still for sale.

PrettyBlueBug ·

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!

squizy ·

:tree

ruckus ·

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?
