The Beetle formerly known as “BUGGIN” Updated 16 Nov 08
Posted for a friend. This is a serious add.
For Sale or Swap
1967 Custom beetle, 61 Shell, 67 Pan, Suicide Doors (engineered), shaved dash and exterior, custom 2 tone paint orange and white (appears read in different lights, some bubbles), near new interior, custom adjustable beam (narrowed), drop spindles, good rubber all round, empi trigger shifter whitewalls, good box, too many other things to list (see pic’s). Sold or Swapped as is, No Engine or Registration.
Reason for sale.
The vehicle was defected by ACT RTA nearly a year ago for ride height, which was rectified days later and re-inspected, however during this process the ACT RTA stated they wanted the suicide doors completely re-built and engineered even though they meet NSW specifications and held a current engineers certificate. Any way long story short. After many many months of fighting the ACT government and exploring his options, it became evident BUGGIN would never be ACT registered unless the doors were completely re-done. (Not cheap to meet there crazy requirements).
Tim has basically decided to part with his dream car, as it is beyond by finances and capability givem the circumstance. The vehicle was purchased for a lot lot more than its asking price.
Things required for rego outside of ACT:
Engine (1600 was fitted)
Axel Boots x 2
Axel seals x 2
Rear Brakes
Vehicle has already been raised to legal height and can easily be re-dumped as required.
$6000.00 or Swap for VW of interest, of similar value (Priced to Move).
Post pic’s of what you would be willing to swap. All offers will be considered. This is not a joke, so try your luck. Vehicle located ACT. Please contact Tim Poppam or myself to discuss BUGGIN further.

Has had a complete makeover since then, new paint, all chrome, interior, tyres, etc etc etc. Pay 5k alone for the suicide door mods and certificate.

I have a full collection of 4 children of various vintages to swap. Oldest vintage not pictured.
Youngest runs well, though tends to leave stains. Next youngest has combustion issues and is prone to breathlessness on startup. Second oldest is a bit of a handful to control, but is still good fun. Oldest one (not pictured) is about to become teen vintage, and is prone to occasional attitude.
Know Buggin very well. Good car for someone to get into for sure! 👍

Now knowing what my car is costing to build (sshh, the wife might hear me), if I had this knowledge prior I would have been a mile in front in buying this car or similar. I have never met the owner so there is no gain for me, but if you are thinking of buying a shiter and doing a body off resto or similar its gonna cost you 10 grand minimum. So take my advise and jump on something like this.
As in Cher's song (sing now) "If I could turn back time" I would be all over this thing.
Good luck with the sale, Kev.

Thanks for updating the thread Pete!
He's in the process of becoming legal. No idea when he'll be on the road, but taking the first steps

It's nice to know my bug is still floating around and has been given the rebuild I couldn't afford (the principal reason I sold her, and yes it was heartbreaking). Sorry to whoever had to clean up the generally messy work we threw together, she was never meant to pass a legit rego inspection haha.. Still amazed I drove her for 2 years without being pulled over (suicides, no mirrors, locks, handles, front plate or indicators, I even scraped out in front of a patrol car once and they just laughed!).
Stay cool

Hey Tim (or however is posting on your behalf?)
I hate to put this out there, but unless there's been some SERIOUS refab done a lot of the specs in the ad posted before are inaccurate e.g. beam wasn't shortened and it's a '64 top and bottom (although to save a blue slip inspection I just rego'd it as my previous 67). I haven't spoken to any of the owners since Ryan though so anything could've happened. If you've cleaned her up for a hard core road-worthy, inc redoing the suicides, then big props to you, will be fantastic to see BUGGIN rollin legit.
Lemme know if you want some shots of the original build
