This fantastic car is an original 1960 Volkswagen Beetle!  This is NOT a show car!  This vehicle is an every day driver with plenty of dents and dings and character.  It's one of the coolest cars ever!  The car was originally purchased in Helena, Montana in 1960 and has spent the rest of it's life in the Rocky Mountains of Butte, Montana.  I am the fourth owner of this 53 year old car and I drive it every day in the summer. Like me, she hates cold weather and pretty much refuses to go out in it! This car would be perfect for someone in a warm climate.  The car is in original condition except for the tail lights, which were upgraded to include turn signals.  Also, the man who owned the car before me installed a driver's seat belt.  He intended for his teenage daughter to own the vehicle and he wanted to keep her safe, but she couldn't master driving a manual transmission.  This is why the car only has one seat belt (lap belt only).  I now have two small children and I don't feel like it's right for them to ride in a car with no seat belts.  Even if it is really FUN and they LOVE it!!  So it's time for this car to find a new home with someone who will love her as much as I do!

    

This vehicle is in original condition and has NOT been restored.  It has normal wear and tear that you would find on a car that is driven every day and is 53 years old.  The carpet is worn and torn in some places.  There is a large dent in the right rear fender (see photo).  One of the hub caps is missing.  I have tried and tried to find another matching hub cap, but these are some kind of rare aftermarket VW SS hubcaps (see photo).  They are virtually impossible to replace, so you would do well to just buy a set of four new hubcaps.  Besides that, they are pretty rusty. The steering wheel has many cracks.  The radio doesn't work, but is a super cool pull-out portable radio.  It was designed to be taken out of the dash so you could bring your tunes to the beach or on a picnic.  It has its own special key, that you insert into the radio to release it.  You can see in the photo the hole where you would insert the key.  There is an auxiliary gas heater for extra warmth in the winter.  The heater is not hooked up as I only drive the car in nice weather.  The seat coverings are cracked and the driver and passenger seats have big holes where the covering is missing all together.  In the pictures I have one seat cover on the drivers side and a towel on the passenger side.  Sorry.  I meant to remove those before I took the photos.  I can add a photo of the seats if you want to see it.  The back seat has no holes or tears.  Just the front ones. The headliner is discolored.  Some of the fabric wall covering is torn and water damaged because the car has leaky seals.  Also there are dents in the passenger side door from where the previous owner hit it with her other car's door every day while it was parked in the garage (door dings).  These are evident in the pictures.  There are two chips in windshield.  Also, I replaced the original windshield wipers with new ones because I was going to drive to Helena one day and it looked like it was going to rain.  The original wipers are in the glove box.  The rubber was too old and hard to do any actual wiping, but I kept them thinking I could just replace the rubber.  The car has its original VW Luggage Rack.  These are really hard to find, too.  The car is in good running condition and is driven every day.  The vehicle's Owners Manual, Accessories Catalog, Service Booklet for Preventive Maintenance, and Distributors and Dealers in Canada, USA and Mexico Catalog are included.
