Description:

1973 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic

I am selling this car for a friend.

You are bidding on a 1973 Super Beetle.We believe to originally have been a Sunbug.When purchased in 2004, this car hada special steering wheel and seats. The original seats have been replaced but the car retains the steering wheel. Immediately after purchase, this car underwent a 3 plus year High Quality,Ground Up, Every Nut and Bolt Restoration.Since the completion of the restoration roughly 10 years ago, the car has always been stored inside, under cover andhas been drivenan estimated 10,000rain freemiles. The clock shows 38,XXX but we can not guarantee how many miles where on the car when he purchased it. It continues toDrive like new.

If you want an antique carthis is the kind of car you want to buy. I have known the owner for many years. He is highly skilled restorer, with a fully equipped shop. He has restored cars for many years, always for himself and never for resale. I watched this vehicle being restored. Restoring a car is almost never a profitable venture for the owner. My friend has over $10,000 invested in parts alone. Iestimate that a shop would charge about $20,000 in labor for this restoration. My friend has no interest in the economics of the restoration. His passion is inthe restoration itself. I have told many people that with my friend it's all about the journey, not the destination. So there are no cheap fixes, no cut corners. If he doesn't like how it turns out he takes it apart and redoes it. What you can't see looks just as good as what you can see. Every speck of rust is gone, gone, gone. This car is way better than when it was born.

So if you like the best, at an affordable price, you need to bid on this vehicle.

Successful bidder required to make a $500 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of auction's end.
