Description:

1976 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic Karmann Body

1976 Volkswagen Beetle convertible in great original condition with low miles. This car was repainted a brighter color of yellow by the original owner butother than that it is unchanged fromfactory original including thetop and interior. The seats have firm foam and are very comfortable. The motor runs reallygood and there is no play in themain pulley wheel.The transmission itself works great except it seems like it could use new shifter linkage bushings or adjustment because it is a hard going into thegears sometimes. It could use a couple things done to it but other than that it is a really nice car.Its a veryhonest example of an original 1976 VW Beetle Karmann body convertible. I will list out the positives and negatives or things that need to be done to the car. Car comes with a new set of seat covers for front and back seats.

Itcould use an alignment andat least one tie rod or other suspension parts. It has avibration at highway speed

two small isolated rust spots on back of floor pans.
