1963 VW RAGTOP BEETLE BUG

1963 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic Description

Here is a mostly original car. It sat for past 20 years in a garage.The car was purchased from the original owner by the person who sold it to me last month.I have since prioritized restoring my Ferrari 308 which has turned out to be a money pit so this must go.Runs and drives but at our altitude needs a carb adjustment - came from sea level.Brakes work fine.Looks to be an older repaint - the paint is actually not bad and will wax up nicely. I'd personally drive it as-is unless restoring to mint.The body is very straight with no rot. Sunroof no tears and operates smoothly.The pan has had some amateur (poprivet)small patches rear passenger side along with floors at the heater duct. The battery area is the only see-through hole and needs a patch (common issue).Solid drivetrain and suspension beams. No leaks from engine.Original 6 volt system works fine. Car starts up fine. New tires all around.Original whitewall Firestone spare still intact.Newer seat covers look nice. Aftermarket older carpet. Otherwise rest of interior is original including headliner which is still presentable with no tears.Wipers are proper vintage and style.Lights and signals work - one headlight bulb out.Original radio
Not much else to say - if you know these old bugs there is not much luxury, parts are plentiful, and patching pans is easy with patch panelsavailable.You could just drive it as-is or restore slowly.Still in prior owners name from a registration only state with all paperwork ready for your DMV or I can title it in my name here in New Mexico - just trying to avoid added expense. Plus you will officially be a second owner.
I can send a video of engine running and a picture of paperwork. Any additional questions please ask. All sales are final, and while that may be scary, please see my feedback. I try to honestly represent everything.This car is far from perfect but rare enough to leave with plenty of room to invest in it before being upside down on a restoration.I can arrange to meet your trucker or help load if you show up personally with a trailer.
trivia: This is the same year and model as Herbie.
