[FS - VIC] 1976 Beetle (the Last & "The Best" - so some say)
Euro_67 - November 3rd, 2006 at 01:58 PM

Gotta love the '76. Free bump, good luck with the sale. I reckon a good one of these is rarer than an oval these days.


Spellbound - November 3rd, 2006 at 02:45 PM

Nice...gives me hope for my 76! Good luck! :P


PrettyBlueBug - November 5th, 2006 at 09:57 PM

I've been seeing quite a few '76's around the last few weeks! :P


PrettyBlueBug - November 9th, 2006 at 08:01 PM

I've seen yours once, but other 76's in vatious colours. Saw a weird orangey one today but looked clean.

Good luck with the sale.... why you want to sell it though, thought it was your baby? :P

Unfortunately the ones I see have been truly abused. Looks good in white. Two sets of blinkers ? did you replace the 'guards ?

any more pics?interior?


ACE_76 - November 14th, 2006 at 02:28 PM

Sorry, had to go B4 finished last message. Haven't got any more photos handy. Ahem, don't own a digital photograph-producing apparatus! (Hides under table.)
Interior is all original. Light Tan ("Champagne" someone told me it's called) vinyl is all in very good cond. including front seats. Dash is good but has a repaired section, original charcoal carpets = good, rubber mats ditto. Headliner has one tear above parcel shelf & some light stainer (possibly had a smoking owner). Original steering wheel. Original speedo (professionally rebuilt within last year).


Learner - November 14th, 2006 at 05:33 PM

it's ok i'm a photographer and don't own a digital cam (yet) i want to keep the analogue alive!! well if i find $5500 somewhere u'll hear from me!!1!!! good luck!!!!

Saw the car today, with the price tag of $4475. Very clean looking bug. Also know Mark who has done some of the work on it. He is very good.


BASHOdi - December 14th, 2006 at 04:27 PM

Hi there,

For the price that ACE is asking, you would be getting alot of car. It has been religiously looked after and maintained. If I could extend my funds to cover the full purchase price, I'd buy it (although my wife probably wouldn't talk to me(until she drove it!!)).

The bigger car ACE bought was a Type 3 wagon, so he is a person who has a pashion for veebubs.

You can tell that this car hasn't been abused, as it hasn't got that tired look of some bugs people are trying to sell for the same amount of money.

In the current condition, I'm sure it would win a prize for best presented daily driver, and I'm sure Mark from Imported would vouch for that.

Besides from all that, BUMP!


madcamper - December 18th, 2006 at 09:30 AM

Well worth the $.....

Bump


oval TOFU - December 20th, 2006 at 10:31 AM

Can you send me pics please? you got a U2U....


Euro_67 - December 21st, 2006 at 06:39 PM

Tofu, I think this thread has an issue since the forum crash. This thread was started by ACE_76, and he has the '76 beetle for sale, so you might want to send him a U2U.

For those who are curious, ACE dosen't have a digital camera. The car is well worth a look, and the drive there is pleasant, through the dandenong ranges, behind Belgrave/Olinda ways...

BUMP again!!

Thanks
Super Dubba
