I'm no expert, but it looks gorgeous!

(I love yellow though so I'd buy it on the spot if I could...)

I'll look at it, when do you want to go?

Matt lives very close to there.

Well considering that we're probably going to be in the middle of a hurricane on Saturday & Sunday (phooey), it looks like tomorrow evening ( Friday) would be the only time available.

Drivers seat is bad. The visors look a little wrinkled, otherwise it looks good.

Looking at a car at night... *_no**

Saturday morning might be OK

While it's still light out.... early evening.

Baha (Shawn) · August 25, 2011, 08:06:39 PM

Well that's different!

&^rofl ahh.. a classic!!!

make sure you check out the spare tire area. in the 2nd photo to the right of the vin plate is a round inspection cover. i believe this should be black. above the plate looks like the body color tag. that looks like it's been painted over too. if jack is with you he'll know what i'm rferring to. good luck.
p.s. saw the 71 beetle vert in stratford again today.

I noticed that the tag was painted over too, but wasn't aware of the inspection cover needing to be black. Would imagine that many vehicles have been repainted?

The 71 isn't for sale though, right? Or do you think it's a case of "everything has a price?"

50split(paul) · August 26, 2011, 04:54:51 AM

some inspection covers were body color but i thought 68 were black.
i think if you talked to the owner of the 71 something could be worked out. i only talked to the mechanic.

Not to add to your confusion... Martins 59 ragtop is still for sale. Its perfect. Not a convertible, but the whole roof slides open.

kvbug (karen) · August 26, 2011, 04:03:43 PM

Not fair... you guys know how easily I get confused! #@rofl3

Jack, I saw that bug on Ebay : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-VOLKSWAGEN-VW-BEETLE-RESTORED-PERFECT-CONDITION-/250879484320?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item3a699521a0

It's a sun visor and indicates that the owner has great taste... whistleegi

Only problem is if you dont like it you have 6 screw holes that need to be filled
