1960 Sliding Sunroof Volkswagen Beetle

   1960 Sliding Sunroof Volkswagen Beetle


 Description
 
 
 
 
 
1960 Sliding Sunroof Volkswagen Beetle

 
This car is a beauty as it is finished in professionally applied German Panama Beige Spies Hecker paint inside and out  with TMI Brick Red with off white OEM classic trim. The sedan has been correctly converted to 12 volts for reliability and has a rebuilt 1967 12 volt transaxle. Nothing has been done to the car to prevent changing it back to a 36 HP engine or 6 volts. It has been fully restored by me, a retired VWoA Volkswagen dealership technician. No rust anywhere. Always garaged since restoration. Paint is flawless. Notice the correct color fender beading and the Sand Beige running board mats.  Here is your chance to own a classic VW at an affordable price! 

It's completely restored and needs nothing.  Multiple Volkswagen Show 1st Place and Best of Show  winner. You can be ready for the upcoming VW Show season with only a wash and wax job! Or have a perfect daily driver. Original stock configuration except for rebuilt 12v 1600 engine and 1967 transaxle. Drives 65-75 MPH all day long.  A nice, tight VW that you could drive anywhere. The heater and defroster works perfectly. The sunroof opens and closes with one finger. Everything operates as new.  Except when the odometer was refurbished and reset to 0 miles, it now registers only 1 mile for every 2 traveled. This can be easily repaired by any Speedometer repair service. The speedometer does register MPH correctly.

The OPTIONAL German roof rack is available for $400.00 extra added to final bid.

Buying on-line can sometime be difficult, as a lot of the listings lack the detailed photos and/or descriptions to make it difficult to buy a vehicle sight unseen, from your home.  Descriptions on-line are very subjective, so we offer an inspection period (see terms and conditions below) to help alleviate some of the stress of bidding on something on-line. Bid with confidence!

Please keep in mind that this vehicle is in our possession, and the descriptions come straight from us. We have a rock-bottom reserve. If no problems are indicated on the listing it is because there are no problems that we are aware of. No trades please.
