The car is no longer for sale, I was driving home from a car lost control and hit a very large tree, writing me and the car off. I will be ok, but the car is a goner. Will upload Photos when I am feeling a little better.

Hi,
Particulars first:
Name - Ian Bugden
Location - Theodore ACT 2905
Contact details: 0415928687 (can be hard to get a hold of me) 02 62922347 (ah) - Be reasonable, I have 2 little kids or e-mail - thebugden@gmail.com
Item:
'66 Beetle
I have owned this car for the last 5 years and am reluctantly selling it as the wife says it has to go. I can see her point, I have 3 other Beetles too and this would fund thier restos.
The car is currently on Historic rego in the ACT (rego 1192 but that will change to a different number soon and will advise once done)
has the following:
- 2" narrowed front Beam with adjuster (was built by Indian automotive)
- 2.5" drop spindles (with currrrent wheel and tyre combo has a maximum height of 115mm legal in every state to my knowledge)
- 1 inner spline drop at the rear
- 177cc engine, built by Rod Penrose as his personal engine. Features, ported heads, match ported manifolds, 100 or 110 cam (neither of use remember) 36mm delortos, counterwieghted crank, 009 dizzy with 6500rpm rev limiter rotor button, 13/8 ceramic coated exhaust with Phat boy muffler. This engine puts out 85 hp at the wheels on Gas tunes Dyno.
-Fully Polished Empi 5 spoke wheels, Very Low Km,s on front 165/50/15 tyres, rears 205/65/15 about 50% worn.
- New Carpet, door trims
- Honda Prelude seats on modified VW runners. Used a heap of box section steel to make up the bases, the seats sit lower than stock seats and further back as I am 6'2"
- Locking reverse shifter
Body is in very good condition as you would expect being a Canberra car, it is straight (one small dent in bonnet very hard to see) and rust free (small rust spots on bottom of decklid though).
- paint is pretty good, does have some mark in it. It will not win a best paint trophy but looks the goods from 10' away.
Gearbox is smooth and does not make any noises.
Have tried to give a very honest description of the car, it does go hard, turns heads, sounds good, gets lots of compliments, and it is a genuine reluctant sale. I would love to keep this car but reality has set in and I would never be able to complete 4 Beetle is this lifetime.

I am driving the car up to the Nationals and back if you would like to view it.
