Beetle Convertible 1962 Dressed As A 1958 on 2040-cars

Here we have this 1962 cabriolet.
It's dressed to look like a 1958.
It's on a 1966 pan, & is registered as such.

- Running & driving car
- 12 volt conversion with alternator, new battery & wired for the snowflake lights
- Front disks ( your standard Ghia swap )
- New tires
- Recent front end rebuild
- Stock width select-a-drop
- Stainless braided brake lines & new hard lines.
- New master cylinder.
- Powder coated wheels
- Good running 1600 single port
- Transmission shifts well, no noise & good clutch
- The body is very solid
- Top frame is pretty complete with great glass
- New latches & catches for the top.
- New windshield, rubber & trim
- Correct convertible rear seat & low back front seats
- The package tray & heater channels have already been replaced by the previous owner & they put a new pan seal in as well.
- A lot more new parts ! receipts included.

** The car is pretty solid, but does have small holes in the passenger side pan.
I'd replace the body rails too, but they are more than solid enough to drive on.
If you want to paint it, it'll need some body work. I think it looks cool as is though.
It's missing the side glass & 3 window regulators. Otherwise, pretty complete.
Of course, it needs all the soft goodies, and for the correct 2 tone complete kit with a new top is only about $1000 through J-bugs.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have & more pictures will be added upon request.

Reserve is less than I have in the car. Good Luck

 Yes, that's a vintage "ahoogah" horn under the bonnet. Hutchins, I believe. It makes one hell of a racket too, perfect for this car.
It also has a brand new 12 volt VW horn wired & ready to go, just needs the horn button kit ( screws / springs / etc. )

The wood for the top is in pretty decent shape, I was able to stabilize most of it already.
The rear section ( above the deck lid ) will either need to be reworked, or replaced though. It's not rotten, just broken....but mostly there.
The header piece is a WCM composite & should last forever.

I've had several offers to end the listing early & sell it outside of eBay.
Before you ask, I'd really rather go through eBay.
They've always done me right in the past & I feel they've earned their cut if it sells.

If you're curious about the reserve, it's fair for both parties.
Almost every time I tell someone, they instantly offer me less.
It's a reflex, I get it.

Quick update :Got the top aligned with the new latches. Found the correct "dome top" screws as well. It looks pretty cool with the skeleton top up. Very "HoodRide"Giving it a thorough tune up, etc. & apparently the previous owner was mistaken when he said it's a 1600. It's a 1200cc from 1961. The difference is barely noticeable as you probably know. Just thought I'd add the info so you're not like "What the hell man ? You said...."

Another update :
The accelerator pump needed to be replaced, so I threw a full carb kit at it. It's running beautifully now & I'm logging plenty of miles. Hope you don't mind ;)

After the full tune, It'll actually do 65mph+ on that little 1200cc now. It pulls hard too, the engine seems real healthy.
