1968 Vw Beetle Restoration Project ***tons Of New & Used Parts***southern Car*** on 2040-cars

I bought this Beetle from an elderly gentleman down in southern Tennessee and just don’t have time for it. A good amount of work has already been done to it. Someone really did some nice and extensive work. You just need to pick up where it was left off. This Beetle has a clean and clear Tennessee title!

The front suspension, beam, rear suspension, wheel bearings and brakes have all been gone through. New front wheel wells along with heater channels have been done. The car needs a new rear luggage tray welded in along with rear floor pans (floor pans come with the car). Wiring harness also seems to have been gone through somewhat. The rear apron looks to be mocked up and riveted on, but not welded in yet.

There is also a long list of brand new and used parts that come along with the car that I will list adding up to well over $2000.00 not including the chassis, motor or transmission. The motor while a little dusty, is worth $600-700 (1600cc dual port AK code). The motor spins freely and has good compression. I was told it was running when it came out of the donor car. A good type 1 transmission also comes with the car which usually sell for $200. I wish I had time to finish it up as it is a pretty straight car. Also comes with an extra type 1 transmission however I’m not sure if it is working well, I would probably consider it a core to be on the safe side.

This is honestly a little gold mine for a VW enthusiast or someone who needs the parts to finish a project they are doing. The other option would be parting everything out and easily doubling your money, it would just take time. The car is really void of any rust besides the rear pans and luggage tray. It would make a great father and son project or just a great restoration project as 90% of everything you need comes with it. This is a great restoration to get into as these cars have been on a steady increase in value over the last ten years and it will only go higher as it’s getting harder and harder to find clean beetles. I’m sure there are some other little odds and ends that I’m forgetting on the list as well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

My loss is truly your gain.
