Beautiful daily driver offered for sale due to unfortunate circumstances only - I have moved and don't have a garage and cannot stand to see it outside! Seriously, this car would NOT be for sale otherwise.  I am the third owner, have all the maintenance records from the day it was purchased to present and have lovingly restored it along the way, from a tired old fellow of beige and rust when I first acquired it 6 years ago to what you see here today.  It drives great, starts on demand, leaves only a minimal oil spot - unbelievable for this breed, as VW enthusiasts will tell you - and is a head turner wherever it goes.  Bug Red, as he's now known, is loved by family and friends and no one is ready to part with him.  He's been garage kept for the last 6 years since I've restored and repainted him, but after just a few months outside the chrome bumpers are showing rust spots (easily attended to with a brillo pad every couple of weeks) and I want to move him to a good home with a garage sooner rather than later.   With just a little more work on the window and door gaskets and some of the trim, Bug Red could be a show car.  I prefer to enjoy him on a near daily basis, however, and he's been up to the challenge from day one.  He's starting to show a goofy uncertainty with his gas gauge around half a tank, so I've recently replaced the sending unit and am keeping an eye on that, but otherwise, he's a runner and will take you wherever you want to go, whenever you want to go.  My upgrades and restorations have occurred over 5 years, and are too numerous to mention, but the first order of business was to remove the air conditioner - yes, Bug Red was a cool bug from birth, literally, with the VW installed a/c in the front.  No need for that, though - the car was underpowered for it and it is a maintenance hassle, so we pulled it first and patched all the holes.  Second order of business was pulling out the rusted floor pans and replacing them.  Then, gradually, we replaced seals, wires, plugs and pins that looked uncertain for the long haul, en route to the new white walls and paint job.  Bug Red's a new man and a favorite among guys, gals and kids alike.  Seriously, you cannot drive 10 miles without several waves, thumbs up and/or questions in the parking lot.  You will NOT be disappointed with him.  I just ask that you be serious about it and plan to take care of him.  He definitely deserves a roof over his head, and I cannot give that or predict when I will be able to again.  My first car ever was a restored 1973 Super Beetle, so this has a lot of sentimentality for me, and it's hard to part with, but I don't want to see my handiwork get eaten up by the elements.  So, give him a look.  He's well worth it.  The couple original 1973 advertisements that are shown in the pictures are available to go with Bug Red, along with a small assortment of original parts and accessories that have been replaced.
