This is a very nice Volkswagen Beetle.  I have been driving it to work because it gets better gas mileage than my truck.  It starts reliably and cruises comfortably.  It has an Autostick transmission.  An autostick is basically an automatic clutch.  When you move the shifter, the car autmatically engages the clutch.  So, you do not need to know how to drive a stickshift transmission.  You just move the shifter.  The transmission is smooth and tight.  This car was purchased for my daughter.  I put a lot into it and she decided that she would rather not drive such an "old car."  I believe the paint to be original and I believe there are only 54688 miles on the car instead of 154688.  Nonetheless, the rebuilt engine and transmission have less than 200 miles on it.  I rebuilt the engine to stop some oil leaks (I know, overkill).  The person that rebuilt the engine found very little wear on the engine, just leaks.  It does not leak at all now.  There are some paint dings and scratches. Very little rust on the body.  The floor pans are good except right behind the passenger seat, but ther are no holes in the pan.  The interior is in good original condition (see pictures).  The engine has been completely professionally rebuilt (new oversize pistons and cylinders, new heads, new crankcase bolts, new piston rods, new push rods, new crankcase bearings, new push rod covers, new seals and gaskets). The Autostick transmission has been professionally rebuilt.  The car has a new brake system (front disc brakes, new reservoir, hoses, brake lines, master cylinder, wheel cylinders and pads).  The car has a new CD player and new speakers in the rear in speaker boxes.  I have fabricated a shift knob from a yellow "1" billiard ball.  New trunk liner.  New chrome engine parts.  New air filter and housing.  New breather on crankcase.  New clutch disc, new torque converter.  New battery.  New engine compartment seals. New seat belts. New starter. To be fully appreciated, you probably need to see this car in person.  If I were to keep the car, I would repair the windshield wipers (it's an electrical thing) and get it aligned, but other than that, I would just drive it.

I try to completely describe everything that I sell on Ebay.  I do not want any disappointed buyers.  I have a feedback rating of 100% and I strive to keep it that way.  This car is for sale for $5000.  I realize that I cannot get back what I have put into this car.  I don't believe you could purchase the new stuff for that prices, let alone the whole car.  My loss is going to be someone's gain.  It might as well be you.  Thanks for looking and feel free to e-mail me any questions that you have.  This car is for sale locally and other places on line.  Needless to say, I reserve the right to end this listing early. So buy now if you are going to buy.
