i am on the sunshine coast in qld

ran sweet from Redcliffe all the way home to the sunny coast (just shy of 100k's), needs a tune up.

Guy i bought the car from said i needed to run it on 98 octane because the cylinder heads have been done up for unleaded.

Motor starts straight away and purrs along, comes with engine bay seal, all the tin work and exhaust.

$500

i have a video of it running.

All Beetles from 1968 were done for unleaded from factory.

They run on 91 ULP no problem.
