Description

1968 LH drive Beetle. Much loved but has been in a shed for 11 years. New 1600cc engine block 2006. ($4k) Have spent a few $k replacing fuel system and getting her drivable after so long in storage. Drives pretty well. There is some body rust, have taken pics of the worst. Inspections welcome. Found some Empi wheel trims and her original hub caps which will go with her. This car was in Wolverine the movie when it was filmed in NZ late 2000's. Claim to fame! No wof ( obv) but rego is on hold. I no longer have the original paperwork from the States but 1st NZ owner 1977. No room for Jude anymore, she's gotta go. Offers and viewings are welcome.

(Last pic is on a rally 2007).
