Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Ziebart rust proofed. Narrow whitewalls, no radio. 1,548 miles. Cover for ignition key missing. 8 16 76 receipt is still in the glove box inside owners manual for 1,000 mile service at 760 miles (no charge except $3.75 for 3 quarts of oil and $12.13 for the locking gas cap.) Minor corrosion on side trim, otherwise pristine if showing its age. Runs, but neglected. Brakes are stiff and the whole car needs thorough service after sitting for a generation.

Market commentary

This is enough to buy a running, driving, carefully maintained Beetle convertible with under 2,000 miles. It is excessive for this neglected car that will take hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to get back into decent shape.
