The body is in good condition, however, there are some rust bubbles coming through around the head lamps and some paint chips.
Interior has been fully restored - The seats are finished in Brick Red - All the gauges have been restored and calibrated. New carpet kit and headlining.
The muffler has a hole in it from being so low and scraping pavement - a new muffler is $150.
This beetle is a joy to drive and will certainly put a smile on anyone's face when under acceleration!
