Very solid car that has been a actual barn find. car has been stored in a garage for the last 22 years! The man I got her from has owned her for over 40 years and brought her out in 1992 for restoration. completed in 1994 she was put back in storage until 2005 when he licensed her and used her to drive to his mail box and back to the garage. She is as solide and straight as the day she left the factory. however she isn't 100% perfect. the paint has a few chips and 2 cracks on the roof. 2 small dimples. one on the fender & one on the back of the body by the oval window. which are very small and hardly noticeable. Underside has had one repair under the battery tray which is excellently done. undercarriage is almost perfect. Wheel wells are rubber coated and beautiful! Interior is less than perfect and I would give it a 9 out of 10 but is still very pleasing. Car was made in August of 1955. engine was made in 1955 and the pan was made 1955! Vw had there 1. 00. 00 beetle made in August 5th 1955!!! Is this the one?Please feel free to ask questions and I will answer as soon as possible! Feel free to make offer in a personnel message and I will reply as soon I can!
