Vehicle Description
Well i've had this VW in my personal collection�since 2011 and its
time to let it go�and pass the torch of ownership
This is a fully documented European delivery type 1 bug, every
piece of paperwork from day one way back in 1959 the day the
original owner put a deposit down on the car up until he sold it in
1999 is included, the documentation and receipts are amazing and
puts everything in perspective with this car. i am currently the
third owner.�
Bought new in Augsburg Germany at Edgar Meyer VW by a Pan-Am pilot,
he took delivery in Europe, used it for vacation with his wife then
shipped it back to the states. the car has 112,000 original miles
on it, at 95,000 back in 1981 a new "Crate" 1500cc engine was
installed,but..the good news is��i have the correct 36hp for this
car and its included with the sale!!. The car comes with a vw roof
rack that was bought in 1961 , and has had a fuel gauge installed
