My dad bought this for me this afternoon:
'75 Classic Beetle (VW Bug)
Unfortunately, i won't be able to drive it until later this summer. I was too sick to be able to go out to look at it, but my dad and my business-partner (which rebuilds Beetles) went to look at it and check it out, and my dad put $1500 down on it, with $3300 as the total price. Needs to be fixed up a bit, like the engine needs to be taken apart and cleaned. It needs a new engine mount, and a bit of rust taken care of.
We will be taking out the fuel injection and put in a carborator and take out the computer (first year bug with computer) because if the computer goes out, they cost $500 to replace them.
The interior is brand new and has been fixed up really nice (saw pics on that page and through phone) and it's a beauty from what I see.
Just wanted to let you know of this acquisition.
BTW: This is my first car. I always told people that my first car would be a bug, but it's now a reality
.
I feel bad that I was unable to go out and test drive it, but from what I hear, it's a bit rough as the engine has been sitting between 3-4 years with only a few turn overs every 4-5 months.
EDIT: in case that link goes down, i have a copy of this article (as well as pics here)
