[FS - NSW] 1961 Beetle with 2054cc
Selling my 61 Beetle as i've decided to go in a slightly different direction. I bought this just under 4 years ago and it has been a reliable car.
It's no show car, as it has a few small dings (vs possum) and usual scratches, and also some surface rust starting to show on bonnet, nothing major.
I can add more pics of the affected areas if requested.
Interior is clean, full carpet kit, with only a few small marks on the seats, CD/MP3 player installed, homemade speaker shelf with storage, oil temp
gauge and tacho installed. Stock 4 stud wheels with wheel covers, front disc brakes and will throw in bumpers which currently aren't installed.
Engine is a 2054cc with Engle 110 cam, straight cut gears, Los Panchito CNC Ported heads, dual 40IDF Weber copies, breather box, merged header with
phat boy exhaust. I built this engine myself (with guidance and tool borrowing from Rod Penrose).
Problems: 4th gear pops out when you put your foot down hard on it, doesn't pop when foot steady and cruising. I've gotten around this by using an
occy strap to hold 4th when cruising the freeway, otherwise keep your hand on it, don't really use 4th around town. All other gears are fine. Was
planning on getting gearbox reconditioned but just no time or money.
I'll update with more pics when the sun comes out and if there's anything i've forgotten i'll add it in the description
