Guy who works next door to me gave me this. From what ive been told its a 1963, 1200. It has no motor. Came with an instruction manual and a full service history.

What do you think?

don't stress there is a bit of paint and panel required 🙂 Looks like a good project if you need to pick up some panel repair skills.

The bloke must like you ,he gave you the owners handbook and the front bumper looks good. Sorry mate but there is a lot of dollars and hard work to be done if you are going to make something out of it,look carefully before starting,it could save a lot of heartbreak. cheers Les

Appears to be quite rusty, notice how various parts are rusted right through.

Might be best to part her out and help a few other Beetle's stay on the road.

i think the only cars id have the motivation to work on after the 69 would be an oval or a 356.

You might have some parts there that other people might need. You might be able to sell/swap to get bits for your 69?

Is the owners manual folder complete? with handbook, accessories book etc..?

As an example I paid $80 on ebay recently for a set of the same books to complete my Beetle,

you would probably get $100 for the front bumper, fuel gauge $40 maybe etc..

There is probably a few hundred dollars worth of bits and pieces there to help fund your own Beetle project.

park it in the back yard and now you have some where to store old vw parts.

😂🤪😂🤪😂
car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲
