1969 Volkswagen Beetle

This exciting 1969 Volkswagen Beetle offered here is a one-of-a-kind, classic unique vehicle.
Beetle 'Ratrods' were once looked upon as vehicles that needed restoration or a trip to the junkyard. Today they are popular, valuable, and are now a brand. These 'come as you are' bugs caused an explosion that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. They are honest, cool, built with style, unspoiled, and characterful. With original paint or no paint at all, rust, dents, patina, embellished and one only, they run from wild to extremely crazy. Built, not bought, by a generation of fanatics whose imaginations created the coolest of cool cars. When parked, driven, and shown it is easy to see why they steal the show one hundred percent of the time..every time.
Rare and unspoiled these bugs inspired media, Hollywood movie stars and celebrities. No wonder the price just keeps going up embracing the 'built not bought' ethos.
The car offered here runs good, looks good, drives good, is dependable and draws a whole lot of excitement. Comments and looks are always positive. It is the talk of the town. It is a drive anywhere auto. It was built to show and drive. LOWER IT TO THE GROUND IF YOU WANT A CROWD AND LIFT IT WHEN DRIVING AND THE MAGIG BEGINS, all eyes will follow. Logic is tossed to the wind. It's mysterious, mind-bending fun. It is what it is.
In true ratrod tradition, it is multi-colored, to say the least, with it's on purpose goofiness. It is tastefully and skillfully done. It is a Florida car so the door scripts read "SUNSHINE STATE RATBUG". A few others were added "GUILTY", "RATS BEHIND" AND "IN RUST WE TRUST".
Most of these cars do not have bumpers and it makes them look unfinished. Here you will find brand new fitted ribbed aluminum bumpers and brackets front and rear. There is a roof and deck rack. The surfboard goes with the car as does the vintage suitcase. There are drop spindles up front and air shocks all around. The spoke wheels and tires are in very good condition. You will find many more accessories; kindly look at the photos.
Once inside there is a whole lot to talk about. The seats are in good condition as is the carpet. The seats are 1969 Mustang fastback. They are comfortable, roomy, and add a touch of class. A rat style dash adds a lot of 'look'. Proper seat belts are included. The sound system is mind bending and has an amazing sound with its amp and sub, also Bluetooth and USB port. The subwoofer is housed behind the rear seat surrounded by license plates. A lot of fun here. Even the beer tap gear shifter is a wonder.
The engine has been rebuilt and there is plenty of power. Travel at highway speeds. The exhaust has plenty of sound and it's a good sound. Sure lets the lookers know YOU HAVE ARRIVED. It is nicely detailed with chrome accents. The clutch and brakes act as they are supposed to. The car is meant to be driven during the day only as headlights are for show only. The car goes through the gears as intended.
On every corner, on every highway, and at any event, this auto steals the show every time. It is thoughtfully done even with all its craziness. This is a fun-filled investment. The new owner will have a ball.
This is a 5 day NO reserve auction. The car is sensibly priced and an absolute blast to drive.
