r0880 - October 1st, 2013 at 04:54 PM

[size=5]Hi I am looking for a pre 1968 beetle
- Will travel for right car, have bought cars 1500km+ away before.

- Just after something I can register with little work, presents alright, mainly with a solid

- Lowering and bigger motors are fine as I'd end up doing this anyway, otherwise mainly stock appearance.

- as far as budget goes depends on car, but have up $5k ready to go, could get a couple extra for the right car. If you come across any for sale please pass it on.

- email me contact details or photos rob@mcrae.net.au

Cheers

Same yellow in other post I'm guessing?
I'll consider other models as well.
Not fussed on supers but if it's clean and cheap might be ok

I guess the days of the tidy $2k beetle are over.

I'm keeping an eye on ebay, gumtree, trading post, advertised locally.

This one stands out a bit has some rust in door bonnet, engine lid and who knows what else is hiding.

Is this about as good as it gets or do you still find good buys out there?

Not sure if you would be interested, but I have a 68 project with all paint done. Heaps of new parts (dellorto carbs, vintage speed exhaust) all glass & seats, just needs a bit of time spent. Have photos to prove bare metal re-spray with detail photos of many major repairs.

Pm me for more info and I can email more photos and what not if interested

Groovy - I am in Toowoomba sorry should have said that in original post
Mickya - I don't have shed space at moment just carport unfortunately but looks like a nice project. Would be ideal otherwise
Cheers
