1960 India Red Beetle, Nice and Freshly Restored!
Here
is a beautiful and freshly completed 1960 Beetle that has seen a
complete restoration. This early Beetle has a lot to offer for a very
small
price!
Some of the many features include new paint, new
interior, rechromed German bumpers, brand new and expensive radial wide
white wall tires, fresh rebuilt 36hp engine, all new body and window
rubber, bamboo parcel tray, the birth certificate from Germany,
early California yellow license plates that are registered to it, and a
early Volkswagen dealer plate frame, too.
The body is in great
shape with a fresh coat of the awesome original color of L451 India
Red that looks very nice. All of the body components are proper
including the rear H apron, early fenders with snowflake taillights and
peanut front blinkers, small license light decklid, and the early flat
front hood with the Wolfsburg badge. The hood did see a typical kink
repair near the prop but is holding strong and works well. The original
German bumpers and other small chrome parts have all been freshly
rechromed and look great. The floor pan halves were replaced and the
pan is now rock solid, freshly painted top and bottom, and looks very
nice as well. All of the window and body rubber was also replaced at
the time of the restoration.
The interior is also completely
restored with
faithful reproductions from TMI. The seat covers, two-toned door
panels, carpets, cloth
headliner, and rubber floor mats are all brand new. Additionally the
original steering wheel was restored and looks and feels just right.
Even a set of original style tar boards were installed beneath the floor
mats. Everything was done and still smells fresh inside!
Mechanically
this Beetle is bone stock and has been completely refreshed including a
freshly rebuilt 1192cc 36hp engine, stock and nice working transaxle
that was serviced as necessary, all new braking system, rebuilt
generator and carburetor, and a spendy set of brand new radial wide
white wall tires that are so fresh that they still have the blue
protective coating on the white walls! The electrical system is still
the factory 6 volt and the wiring looks clean and unmolested as well.
The engine, trans, brakes, and beam are all extremely clean, too. It
was recently driven to a San Diego car show and
performed beautifully without any issues.
This is a very clean
and fresh early
Beetle that is ready to rock and get loads of thumbs up in traffic.
You will have a very hard time finding a nicer and more thoroughly done
early Beetle than this for the price! Thanks!
