This is a project for an optimistic enthusiast, or a wealth of parts. It's fairly complete, and there are no signs of collision. If someone is looking at this as a project, it'll be a trade-off of bodywork vs. searching for parts. It has the center gauge console, and side-shift trans, which are fun to have. It does have rust – quite a bit of rust.
The engine doesn't turn over. The previous owner said he did a compression check. It may have just gotten a bit of moisture into the cylinders, or he may have been full of it.
Someone put some goofy seat on the driver’s side – not sure what’s up with that.
It's missing the intake parts (I assume someone had a carb on it at one time). It still has the F.I. computer, but I don’t know about the condition.
There is a crack on the passenger side of the windshield, but the rest of the glass appears to be okay. It has three of the correct wheels, and a Beetle rim.

On its way to St. Louis.
Sorry, this one already went to a new home, but if you check our current inventory, I bet you'll find something else that you'll like.
Highlights
  • Center console gauges
  • Side-shift transaxle
