1500 , from what ive heard seen and read it was a smoking deal. need a bit but nothing big. rr fender needs to be kocked out a bit looks like maybe the owner before this one had backed out a garage and skimmed it. all the glass is perfect new windsheild new rear brakes. but the brakes are on the fritz i hit the pedal puddle of fluid underneath the lr wheel i figure its a wheel cylinder or a leaky bleeder valve! nothing big. just mostly fine tuning. pumped it twice hit the key fired right up heater still works and warm air to! factory no radioLast edited by gassersrule_196; 03-24-2009 at 11:00 PM.

Nice find! I had one years ago, mine was a 1960. I loved it, but it was totaled in an accident. I didn't know how well those things could roll.I can tell from the pictures that you got a really nice one, hell yours even has a gas guage!! Mine didn't, just a little metal rod on the inside firewall that you turned to turn on the reserve tank.
From time to time I have thought of doing what you have done, but I think I going to hold out for a Karmann Ghia convertible. Place near me has a least 4 of them for sale and a half dozen beetles. Just got to get a good price.Bob

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
