98% complete custom street buggy with an old school hot rod look. This car still needs brake lines, e-brake cables, and electrical run…but parts are included to finish. This will require a VW Beetle title for registration and inspection. This is technically a modified VW Beetle and can be titled/inspected/insured as a VW Beetle. I will include aluminum sheet enough for all body panels if you desire to run them. Over $9,000.00 invested in this almost completely new street buggy along with well over 1,000 hours of hard labor. Car will need a first class alignment once complete. Wrap this up and have a one of a kind VW that is guaranteed to turn heads, no matter where you are, and get more attention than much more expensive hot rods. I hate the thought of selling after all the time and thought put into this but have urgent matters that have priority over my toys. This will be a cash sale only and will include a bill of sale.
