59 is Fine!!!
Help celebrate this amazing bugs 50th birthday. As close to a barn find as
you'll ever find. This bug was last registered in 1988. If you do the math, it's
like buying a 50 year old body with only 30 years worth of wear. Kinda like me
only in better shape.
I thought about doing a complete restoration, but the patina was just way to
cool. Anybody can have shiny paint. This the perfect daily original style
driver or it could be lowered and turned into the ultimate rat rod.
My first objective was to see how it ran. I put a new ignition switch in it, new
6 volt battery, changed the oil, turned it over 20 or so times to pump up the
oil and then primed the carb with gas. It literally fired on the second or third
kick. A little cough, a little sputter and a puff of smoke and then it ran like
nobody's business.
Here are some of its features: The new, The works, The need works and The
cool:
THE NEW
NEEDS WORK
THE COOL
This is your chance to own a piece of history and go back to the 50's, relive a
simpler time and enjoy doing it. This bug gets attention in its modest way
everywhere it goes. Fun and economical. You can get in and drive it the
way it is or build it to your own personal taste. Thanks for looking at my
auction. If you have any questions feel free to call 720-270-5637. If your local
and serious your welcome to set up a personal viewing. I am open to
reasonable offers on my buy it now, if your interested in making a deal.
You can learn more about me by clicking on the "me" button next to my
feedback. As a Colorado dealer I must sell the car miles exempt due to
Colorado State Law. I do have a clean Colorado title. Have fun bidding.
Peace, Joey
