Equipment
Rear defrost, radio, hub caps.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Old repaint with cracks and chips on the front. Hub caps have some rust on them. Chrome trim and bumpers are pitted. Good, straight newer top. Overspray in the engine bay, but it's tidy and maintained. New seat covers and carpet. Dash is cracked and the gauges are original. New radio. A cosmetic restoration that's good enough for casual driving.
Market commentary
The cosmetic issues and general age didn't go over well with the Auburn bidders who arrived in Auburn having read the description of a "Nice original example" and found themselves looking at something else. The result is on the cheap side for a '72 Beetle convertible, but it deserves little or nothing more than what it brought.
