Equipment
Roof rack, rear luggage rack, hub caps, headlight eyebrows, fog lights, bucket seats, added CD stereo.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Bubbles and pitting in unpolished paint. The doors stick out. Trim is oxidized. The front bumper has a dent. Added roof rack and rear luggage rack look new. Carpet is older but the seats look newer. Engine bay looks clean. A car done over on a budget, with most of the work seemingly done a while ago. Even though this is Indiana, the car looks ready for the beach with the bright colors, roof rack and surfboard.
Market commentary
The Beetle underwent big changes for 1968, most notably larger bumpers and taillights as well as a padded dash. Post-1968 Beetles aren't as valuable as earlier examples, but they have pretty much the same look and feel and for someone on a budget they make a great cheap classic. This example was attractive and sound enough to have fun with, and it was bought at a straightforward, appropriate price.
