[FS - NSW] RAT 63' Beetle ***SOLD***
hoodride - May 16th, 2010 at 11:46 PM

1963 Volkswagen Beetle

I purchased this car 2yrs ago, swayed by it's mean appearance. Unfortunately due to the state it was in when it was purchased, the commuting I put it through using it as my daily drive proved to be a little too much for it. For it to be a realistic daily drive it required some attention. So, I've spent the last year making this car what I'd always wanted a strong, reliable rat.

First the method that was employed to lower the vehicle was anything other than safe. A whole new front end fixed that. ~3k for that.

Then the engine started having a few issues along with some pretty savage oil leaks. Fixing one thing lead to the discovery of something else that required attention and again - you know how it goes. Almost another 3k solved that.

So following that saga, here she is. Never been better.

- Fully reconditioned original engine - tuned perfectly
- Brand new narrowed adjustable front beam
- New front shocks
- Wide wheels on rear + white walls (inserts)
- Original interior (with rat style hessian repair job)
- Extractors with Fatboy exhaust
- All rust repaired/painted
- Custom installed twin air horn
- Short shift kit.
- Old school aftermarket steering wheel
- Matt black in colour (if any rust appears in the future just convert it and paint over yourself, same for scratches etc)
- 9 months NSW rego
- RAT-63V plates included in sale
- Brand new NGK plugs/leads
- Brand new air filter
- Brand new clutch cable
- 12 volt conversion
- Kill switch
- Custom amp rack behind back seat.
- Stereo not hooked up at the moment, however rear door cards with 6x9's included in sale.

Located in Mona Vale, 2103.
I'm only selling as I am starting my own business.
Looking for ~$6,500.
Make me an offer.

Hey mate, could you pm the price you are looking for? Cheers


Paulc1964au - May 29th, 2010 at 11:28 AM

it is on carsales.com.au for $7250


hoodride - May 31st, 2010 at 08:59 AM

Sorry guys, haven't been online in a while.
As Paul stated above the car is listed on carsales at $7,250.
However, I am negotiable. I have spent about $7k on the car so I'm hoping to get as close to that as I can.
I've had a few offers but am in no rush to sell.
So if your keen PM me your offer and we can talk.

Cheers,
Max


Paulc1964au - June 6th, 2010 at 09:55 AM

Max,

Have you had any takers?


hoodride - June 6th, 2010 at 12:36 PM

Had a few offers but it's still for sale.


Pollywaffle - June 7th, 2010 at 04:37 PM

Are you able to PM me some interior pics of the car?


hoodride - June 10th, 2010 at 08:47 AM

I plan on adding some here over the weekend.
Cheers


Ollie - June 13th, 2010 at 12:32 PM

Wish I had the funds right now! Would you mind if I popped over and had a look at it anyway? I can't buy it but I'd love to see it up close?


hoodride - June 23rd, 2010 at 07:29 PM

Bump


hoodride - June 30th, 2010 at 11:06 AM

Ollie - July 2nd, 2010 at 11:55 AM

What size is the engine? Sorry for elementary question :smilegrin:


Paulc1964au - July 2nd, 2010 at 04:51 PM

According to the carsales advertisement it is a 1200


Ollie - July 2nd, 2010 at 05:31 PM

Yeah i figured that was the case :) I've been looking at so many of late I thought for some reason it was a 1600cc


benjicon - July 4th, 2010 at 08:21 PM

PM Sent.


hoodride - July 11th, 2010 at 06:02 PM

Car is now sold guys. Thanks for showing interest.
I already miss it...


Paulc1964au - July 11th, 2010 at 06:14 PM

Did someone from here buy it or from carsales?

Are you planning on another?


Ollie - July 12th, 2010 at 07:29 AM

I immediately regretted not buying this car...

Went for a test drive and it was awesome- lucky person whoever has it now!


Paulc1964au - July 12th, 2010 at 06:31 PM

that's a shame, have you found any others yet?


Ollie - July 12th, 2010 at 08:37 PM

Still searching! Just sold my car so back in the market for one :)


mjpt66 - September 12th, 2010 at 10:14 PM

Hi. I'm trying to do the same thing to my '64. Can you tell me where you bought your wide wheels?
