FS> Rat look Country Buggy..SOLD
PHAT BUG - May 8th, 2006 at 07:36 PM

Its with great sadness that I offer my buggy up for sale. With a couple of new projects on the horizon, unfortunatly somthings got to go.

Buggy is on a fully restored beetle pan, adjustable front beam, stainless allen head bolts used throughout, detailed 1300 gear box, twin port 1600 with merged extractors and stinger, wheels and caps have been powder coated gloss black, new conti 145/65's on the front and near new 165's on the back.

Car was featured on hoodride.com, and had a pic in VMA.

The body needs work to get it on the road, with a fair bit of rust underneath, but all the hard work on the chassis is done so your half way there.

With only 200 Buggies remaining its a rare chance to own a piece of Australian Volkswagen history.

$2500-
