This photo is 4 yrs old and the car has been living out side for the last 3 years, so its starting to get the RAT LOOK with the paint fading and crows feet.
The car ran out of Rego 6 months ago and will be sold without the 1776 engine that is currently in it.
I have owned the car since 2004, has been looked after by Custom Bugs & Buses in Penrith since 2006 until it ran out of rego last year, due to getting a new Lotus Elise as my new daily driver.
I purchased the car from a solicitor in Melbourne, who owned it for a number of years. He purchased it from a guy in QLD who restored the car around the mid 90's.
Would make an awesome RAT in a few more years or wonderful restoration project, as it is a very solid car.
Nothing beats pulling back the Golde ratop sunroof on a nice day or night.
Open to offers of $4,500 or best offer.
Car is located in Austral, NSW 2179. About 10-15 minutes west of Liverpool.
PM for VIN number if your seriously interested.
Please call Alex on 0401 213 846.

Firstly, very nice Beetle 馃憤
Secondly, what sort of price are you looking to get for it?
And will it be sold completely engineless, or do you have another block available for purchase with it?

Thanks mate 馃檪
I would reccomend viewing it first as it aint as preety these days, but still a very solid and unique car with the Ragtop.
I have an engine that is kinda weak on hills but gets around ok, in another car I only drive once a month or so. I have never done any work to it my self, so I would reccomend an overhaul of the engine before relying on it to be a daily driver engine.
Price range = It's only worth what some one is willing to pay. I plan to take the best offer. Just need it off the driveway and in a good home somewhere.
Just got a call from an interested guy in Melbourne.
For anyone interstate, I am more than happy to help where I can with being availble to help with transport or if you have mates in Sydney to have them inspect the car for you, or if you wish to fly in to see the car, I can pick you up from the airport.
Cheers,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
just a thought, it will help heaps more if people can actually see what they are trying to buy (not what it use to look like).
I know you suggested to come see it if in Sydney, what about others around the state etc.
Good luck with the sale, Kev

Hey Kev,
Yeah I know, I intend to take some photos, just wont have a chance till the weekend.
I was at work and thought I would put the add up now to get some interest and hopefully some people over this weekend to have a look. Unfortunatly these are the most recent photos I have of the car. I will post them up by Sunday night hopefully.
Cheers,
Alex.

Thanks for thos pics.....
Just to clarify does it come with a motor at all?
62RagBeetle 路
I has a 1776 in it now. but I plan to keep it just in case, i put it in my other beetle.
I have a guy from Melbourne who is VERY keen on it and another guy who lives 5 mintues from me who is also keen, however at the moment, the guy from Melb, has the best offer. He is just waiting on funds from a car he sold, which he should have shortly.

Is the car a factory sun roof car, it looks like the roof has been welded on through the A,B and c pillars, you do not get any rust issues in those places on that model.

Yes, it is a factory Golde ragtop. Not one of those cheap aftermarket ones like britax. The car was restored in QLD about 15 yrs ago. Any one from QLD remember the car or know who owned it ?
62RagBeetle 路
If some one wants to make an offer with the 1776 in there, please do so.

Hi tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost certian the roof has been welded on, I can see the bog distorting/cracking on all pillars where the welds would normally be if it's choped.
If so this is A very hard job to get right almost imposible.
62RagBeetle 路
I do not know how it was done. It was restored 15 years ago in QLD, 2 previous owners ago.
All I know is that it is a Golde sunroof. Happy for you to come have a look if your interested. Please let me know.
Cheers,
Alex.
ozzygus 路
Yes it's A factory sunroof from what I can see,
But is it origanal to this car or has it been welded on from the pillars. where I can see repair work under the paint??
62RagBeetle 路
I have no idea unfortunatly.
Does any one from QLD remember this car or the owner at the time from the mid 90's ??
ozzygus 路
Hi, you can allways find out what the options were on this by checking the vin#, have A look at samba site. You'll definetly get the answer there, My money is on, it's been choped. Cheers
LUFTMEISTER 路
if its original, it should have a SR tag with a number next to the brake reserviour.
Hi does it have a motor in it at the moment or will it come without one, if you sold it with the 1776 what kind of money would you be asking?
cheers

Hi I can say with 100% certainty is A golde sun roof but its definetly not original to this car it's been grafted on.
I'ts A shame because it has A nice body & looks very restorable but it's not for me, I like originali.
