[FS - NSW]##SOLD## 1958 Complete Beetle....needs resto or perfect for parts -...
Craig Torrens - February 13th, 2009 at 07:56 PM

I have for sale a 1958 Beetle.
The car is complete with its original running 36hp motor (matching numbers) but is rusty and would need a full resto.....................or would make a perfect rat ride!

The car has rust in the rear quarters and the bottom of the A pillars, as well as some rust under the Battery tray. There is also surface rust under the car and rust bubbles poping up arount the boot and bonnet rubbers..........................as I said it would need a full resto.

This car would also be perfect for donor parts if you wanted to break it up.

I had intentions of restoring it but I have NO time.

Its Located in Hornsby 2077 NSW and I will provide photo's soon.

$1500.
Please contact me via PM

Cheers

Craig Torrens - February 14th, 2009 at 08:07 PM

yes

I've seen this car and gone right over it. It's got some lower edge cancer, but it WILL make a great rat. The interior is original, as is the paint. There is some awesome patina and lichen. It is a resto patient, but for those with the right skills, will make an awesome rat ride.

Craig Torrens - February 15th, 2009 at 03:15 PM

Yeah it has a bit more rust since you last saw it squizy, but thanks for the comments this would make a great rat............or resto :) (remember it is now over 50 years old!!)
