1955 VW Beetle Oval Ragtop For Sale

Up for grabs a Volkswagen Oval Beetle 1955 with a folding rag top!

The floor pan has been restored and is rock solid as are the heater channels (sills) The body has been media blasted inside out. There is no bondo anywhere on this car! Almost all the dirty and nasty jobs have been carried out by the previous owner.

The hard to find expensive stuff is there, the rag-top mechanism along with the proper pressing in the roof and a pair of correct ribbed doors. The bug comes with four new wings, good bumpers, two extra doors, three steering boxes and a pair of skies if needed. as far as I can tell the windscreen, rear screen, lights and the running boards are missing.

The vin is 1-08921XX so the car was manufactured in April 1955, the body commission number is 7963XX also April 1955, thus matching. The Beetle was exported Initially to Sweden in 1955 and to Finland in 1964 according to documents.

The car can be seen on the location, 30 minutes from Helsinki airport.
I will pick up a serious buyer from the airport in person.

Will ship to Germany, Holland, Belgium and UK, and do my best to help with the rest. Shipping to Germany starts as low as €400,- (Hamburg area)

All in all, it's a great project to finish with reasonable effort and will make a lovely car for the lucky owner!

Please, no ghost buyers. Unfortunately I've had my share of those on this car already.

Cheers!
