Vehicle Description
1977 VW SUPER BEETLE CONVERTIBLE. OVERALL, THIS CAR IS IN EXCELLENT
CONDITION. THIS IS NOT A PROJECT CAR. IT'S TURN THE KEY AND GO.
GOOD BEETLES ARE HARD TO FIND. MANY HAVE POOR QUALITY, OLDER
RESTORATIONS. THIS CAR RUNS GREAT. IT STARTS RIGHT UP EVERYTIME.
THERE ARE NOT ANY FUNNY NOISES EITHER. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS
REBUILT APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AGO AND DO NOT HAVE ANY REASON TO
BELIEVE OTHERWISE. I WAS ALSO TOLD ITS A MATCHING ENGINE (AJ113569)
AND AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I BELIEVE IT TO BE TRUE. THE
TRANSMISSION FEELS VERY GOOD. IT EASILY GOES INTO EVERY GEAR AND
THERE ARE NO GRINDING NOISES IN BETWEEN. THE BRAKES ARE A LITTLE
SOFT BUT WILL LOOK FURTHER INTO IT THIS WEEK. ALL THE LIGHTS AND
TURN SIGNALS WORK AS THEY SHOULD. THE BODY WAS REDONE 5 YEARS AGO
AND STILL LOOKS GREAT. THERE ARE NO WAVES IN THE BODY AT ALL. THE
PAINT JOB LOOKS WAY BETTER THAN NEW. IT WAS REPAINTED ITS ORIGINAL
COLOR OF BLUE, BUT THIS PAINT HAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF METALLIC IN IT.
THERE IS NOT A DROP OF RUST ON THE BODY AND ALTHOUGH I AM SURE
THERE WAS SOME FILLER USED, YOU DON'T SEE ANY OF IT. THE WHEELS ARE
AFTERMARKET AND THEY LOOK GREAT ON THIS BUG. MOST OF THE RUBBER
LOOKS LIKE IT WAS REPLACED AND WHAT WAS NOT IS STILL IN GREAT
SHAPE. THE BUMPERS ARE VERY PRESENTABLE AND WHILE THEY DO HAVE SOME
OF THE NORMAL SURFACE SCRATCHES, THEY ARE NOT RUSTY. THE GLASS IS
ORIGINAL AND FREE OF ANY CRACKS OR DISCOLORATION. ALL THE WINDOWS
GO UP AND DOWN AS WELL. THE CONVERTIBLE TOP SHOULD BE REPLACED TO
FINISH OFF THIS BUG. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NOT ANY TEARS OR HOLES OF
THE TOP SURFACES, THE CORNERS HAVE SHRUNK AND THE TOP AROUND THE
SIDE WINDOW HAVE ALSO SHRUNK. THE FRAME UNDERNEATH IS IN GREAT
SHAPE. THE INNER LINER UNDER THE TOP IS ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE. I ALSO
DO NOT SEE ANY LEAKING EITHER. THE INTERIOR IS GREAT. AND NO, I AM
NOT SAYING ITS SHOW QUALITY, BUT, FOR THE AGE OF THIS CAR AND ITS
ORIGINALITY I AM SAYING ITS VERY NICE. THE SEATS DO NOT HAVE ANY
RIPS OR TEARS.
