1969 Volkswage Convertible

We have had this rare 1969 VW Convertible for a twenty three years . We did a complete restoriation and have enjoyed driving it over the year event though it only has 18000 miles on the car, mostly it just sat in the garage. We have had kept it garaged. We have rebuilt the engine, transmission and replaced the brakes. The drives and feel like it only has 5000 miles or less. We are selling it as it is not getting driven just sitting in the garage. It is drivable and fun to drive. The engine, transmission and brakes where built by a local respected VW shop. Recently we have done the following to prepare if for sale:
Replaced tires
Updated wheels
Replaced master cylinder and wheel cylinders
Replaced brakes
Replaced running boards
Major tune up, valve adjustment and carburetor rebuild
Some of the photographs do show the old wheels that where on the car. If buyer prefers to have these wheels I will pay to have them changed from the chrome wheels at my costs.
The engine is nice and dry, leaks no oil and runs beautifully. The 1600 engine is perfectly tuned, has great compression and starts right up on the first try each and every time, idles smoothly and runs as strong as it did when it was new. Engine was completely rebuilt. This car is simply provides the driver with nothing but pure enjoyment behind the wheel.
The transmission shifts seamlessly through the all of the gears with no slipping or grinding. The transmission was completely rebuilt. There are no strange noises or vibrations from the engine or drive train, all you hear is the music of the flat four engine. The ride in this VW is great, there are no squeaks, rattles or other unwanted noises, the car drives straight and truethere is nothing indicating this car is 45 years old.
