vw Volkswagen beetle 1961. lots of recent work. 12v 1500cc VW kombi
$14,995 Negotiable
Seller's Description
A lovely Gulf blue 1961 vw beetle, hard to believe it is 63 years old.
Just had extensive work to recommission for the Road after a long lay up in a lovely garage.
purchased from a lovely local retired couple who had the car over 10 years but used little.
I went right through the car, removing all 4 wheels and drums, inspecting and cleaning all brakes ✅
bleeding the brake fluid ✅
new clutch cable ✅
rebuilt the carb ✅
oil flush and change to Penrith HPR 30 ✅
valve clearances and new rocker cover gasket's ✅
replaced the incorrect distributor (hence car hardly used by previous owners as ran terribly!) for a new Petronix vacuum advance unit with electronic ignition ✅
new spark plugs: NGK ✅
timing all set up ✅
been through all lights and bulbs ✅
road tested and stops in straight line nicely now ✅
all 5 tyres have near new tread! ✅
the car has a later 1500 engine with 48hp instead of the standard 1200 40 horse unit. regency paperwork for engine swap ✅
on historic rego but easy to reregister in SA.
the car is converted to 12v, so far better lights and starting ✅
brand new pioneer stereo and speakers with blue tooth pairing and charging via lead.
really nicely restored front seats with powder coated frames. recovered door cards.
no headlining, BUT comes with a brand new one and the metal bars. has new window rubbers fitted so easy to remove to install new headliner.
later 'towel rail' bumpers and beauty rings on wheels.
I also have a nice period roof rack and ally sunvisor that could be part of a deal
seat belt mounting points front and rear previously welded/bolted in so ready for new belts for you or your mechanic to install should you wish.
rust? floor pans are superb, has had someone cut out the battery tray and fix in a new section, but aside from this the car is in excellent shape.
heater Chanels rust free.
inner front closing panels front rust free
all hanging panels good. some bubble in engine lid on outer lip.
not originally gulf blue, was Panama grey, an older paint job which I have spent a lot of time cutting and polishing which gives the car a nice patina.
it's not show winner but an honest, solid and genuine classic vw
I have made some carpets for it, not glued in so you can check the floors!
everything works!!
all lights ✅
horn ✅
wipers ✅
stereo ✅
fuel gauge ✅
starts from hot or cold on the button
it drives really well and the 1500 engine is arguably the best air cooled engine vw ever built for sheer reliability and workhorse power.
the engine has zero 'end float' from a pulley pull test.
I've spent a lot of time on this to get it summer ready so you can enjoy.

For sale or trade ** This E92 335i is a great example of a maintained, low KM N54 powered icon, with a heap of $$ already spent on recent maintenance and a couple of tasteful improvements to ensure it is ready to be enjoyed as is, or a fantastic base for anyone looking to do more serious power mods…many on the market will have much higher KM and likely also need maintenance straight away. These are already a quick and capable car, and I have only added a basic MHD stage one OTS tune to it. Ca$15,990Parkside, SA•2w - 2000 SUBARU OUTBACK 4 SP AUTOMATIC 4D WAGON

Reliable old Outback wagon. Everything works on it, cruise, aircon, sunroof, Bluetooth stereo, central locking etc. Excellent tires, regularly serviced, including recent-ish brake pads. I've owned it since 2017. It's solid but old and a bit scruffy: the sunroof trim looks like there's a bit missing, floor mats are a bit stained, leather seats showing some wear and paint fade (clear coat). It goes really well and just did a 1500km round trip in 40C heat with no issues. Don't really know what it'$3,000NegotiableBelair, SA•3w - 1972 VOLKSWAGEN 1600 SUPER BUG S 4 SP MANUAL 2D SEDAN All Others

I was requested to post more photos of rust. I will compile some more today. please message if required. I'm getting tired of driving this thing in and out of my garage to work on other projects, surely someone requires good running gear from this thing for another project? This engine is rock solid and runs so well it should be used if not in this car then in something else, if you offer me enough I'll dump the rest!
