Help! 50split found me this GREAT bug on Ebay and....
« on: August 25, 2011, 12:28:28 pm »
... I asked George to go with me ,but he has to do hurricane prep for his place & a friends place in Cape May (understandably so.)     The auction ends Sunday morning.   Anyone live in this area of PA that could look at it for/with me?    }sos{

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.

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?"

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.
