Album: 1950 Split Window Sunroof Beetle, Superb! Ask!

*Correctly restored distributor
*Correct fuel lines
*Skinny star coil (had a fat star coil on it before)
*NOS VW Muffler
*Jacketed K manifold
*Fresh brakes front to back
*Early Bosch headlights with scripts that match the fog lights (had hella *headlights before, not as rare as bosch)

This L70 Medium Brown 1950 is potentially the nicest Split Window Sunroof Beetle in North America. The attention to detail throughout is phenomenal and the quality of the restoration is top notch. It is correct, matching numbers, and visually extremely nice.

There is a long list of features and accessories to this car that include matching numbers car with correct 25hp engine, full crash non-synchro transaxle, original pan, original 16" wheels with Dunlop bias plies, mint restored ribbed semaphores, correct ribbed doors with notched large logo SEKURIT glass, popes nose engine lid, flat H apron, correct split hood and fenders all around, large mouth gas tank with mint original cap, mint restored Telefunken radio, 100KM badge, Bambus parcel tray, ZAR tag, German porcelain bud vase, Telefunken center mount antenna, Bosch driving/fog lights with peaked lenses, rare accessory brakelights, correct ribbed aluminum trim, early Split running boards, rare glove box doors, telescoping ashtray, cigar lighter, red striped shift knob, accessory ebrake grip, rear bolster pillows, Bosch logoed battery with correct cover and spring setup, mint original round shaft wiper assemblies, correct aluminum hood emblem and handle, locking L decklid handle, mint grooved bumpers, European symmetrically fluted headlights, beautifully restored rear view mirror assembly, early Golde ribbed sunroof handle, I could literally carry on all day long.

The body is in excellent shape, extremely clean, straight, dry, and sterile. The L70 Medium Brown paint is very well done and displays beautifully. This car left Wolfsburg as a hardtop and had a real Split Window Sunroof expertly sectioned into it many years back. It was done so well that you would likely never be able to detect it. All of the doors, fenders, hood, and aprons are correct to the car. Ribbed doors, split hood, real Pope's nose decklid, round horn grill front fenders, dimpled rear Split fenders, flat rear H apron with no exhaust cutouts, the antenna boss above the windshield, etc. The pan is the original 1950 pan and is beautiful as you can see from the pics. The mint restored orange lensed ribbed semaphores work beautifully and pop up immediately. Both of the correct grooved bumpers with bumperettes are in perfect shape as well. Everywhere you look this Split Ragtop is just spectacular.

The interior is the nicest we've ever seen in a Split Beetle. All of the materials are correct from the upholstery, mohair headliner, German square weave carpet, rear seat bolster pillows, rear luggage compartment strips, armrest, rear view mirror assembly, even the battery area is as factory! There are accessories wherever you look inside including the Telefunken radio, telescoping ashtray, cigar lighter, St. Christopher 100KM badge, Bambus parcel shelf, ZAR plate, high beam switch pad, the red-lined mushroom shift knob, and the accessory ebrake grip. The interior is as beautiful and sterile as the day it left the factory 58 years ago.

Mechanically this Split is matching numbers with the original 1950 "1-" 25hp engine, the correct smooth cased full crash/non-synchromesh transaxle, stock brakes, original 16" rims with fresh Dunlop bias plies and painted logo chromed hubcaps. Of course it is still 6 volts and due to it having a brand new and correct wiring harness all of the lights light up super brightly. It starts right up and runs excellent.

This is an opportunity to get one of the nicest and most correct Split Window Sunroof Beetles in North America. This beauty looks like it drove right out of a 1950 Volkswagen Beetle sales brochure!

Album: New Listing! 1953 Volkswagen Zwitter Convertible Matching Numbers! New Listing! RARE!!

1953 Zwitter Convertible, Matching Numbers, Rare!

This former VW Trends magazine feature car is one of the most rare Convertible Beetles in the World. It is a early 1953 Zwitter, or "Oval Dashed Split Window" era car which were only produced for a very short window of time in late 1952 through early 1953. The production numbers of these cars were extremely low, especially for the Convertibles. Only a small handful remain and this is definitely one of the top if not arguably the nicest known surviving example in existence being that it is matching numbers. It has spent the better part of the last 25 years in museum collections of heavy duty VW collectors here in North America.

It has a long list of extremely cool and rare features including being a matching numbers original 25hp engine car, original pan, correct original polished aluminum window frames in excellent shape, starter button on the dash, correct 1953 only ash tray, mint heart taillights, Zwitter only small cap and neck gas tank, incredibly rare original ribbed and boxed convertible only semaphores, ribbed convertible doors, flat H rear apron, original early large logo SEKURIT glass, and a nice set of 5.60-15 bias ply wide white wall tires.

The body is in good shape, solid, dry, clean, and has the correct parts including the correct early wide spring Convertible W decklid with early L handle, ribbed convertible doors, early flat hood, correct rear fenders with low mount original heart taillights, clean original pan, and the flat rear apron. We believe the color is L11, Pastel Green but aren't certain. If anyone can positively identify it please let us know. It is a very attractive color and the paint is clean and respectable. The chrome European spec blade bumpers with short bumperettes are also in nice shape.

The interior is nice and correct and features the early H pattern square seats with tan cloth covers, beautiful cloth door panels, mint uncut dash with the rare 1953 starter button, nice original batwing steering wheel, 1953 smooth dash ashtray, correct early speedometer, original radio block off plate, early convertible rear view mirror with plastic sunvisor, correct original chrome ribbed door handles and window winders with ivory escutcheons, rubber floor mats, and the original hardboard glove box. The mohair headliner is in nice shape as well.

Mechanically this early Convertible has defied the odds by retaining its original matching numbers 25hp engine for the last 56 years! That is a phenomenal achievement when you think about how few cars of this vintage can say the same. Not only is it still intact but it runs excellently. Some of the early particulars include the single tipped VW stamped muffler, 1953 only smooth fan shroud, and the early Bosch D voltage regulator. The transaxle is the correct split case first gear non-synchro and it functions nicely. The electrical system is still 6 volt and everything works well including the semaphores. The tires are nice bias ply wide whites mounted on correctly two-toned 15 inch smoothies and topped with chromed hubcaps with painted logos.

This can truly be seen as your window of opportunity to put this monster early Convertible in your garage. There are so few Zwitter Convertibles like this in existence and it will likely be years or even decades before another one as nice as this hits the open market. This example will certainly be a standout in any collection.

Album: 1963 Karmann Ghia Convertible, Beautiful Cal Looker! $18,950

1963 Karmann Ghia Convertible, Beautiful Cal Looker!

This Ghia has it all, it's early, convertible, looks great inside and out, has loads of attitude, a great stance, and a performance engine that runs excellent. It's been completely gone through from head to toe and is ready to enjoy.
Its features include nice Diamont Dove Blue paint (high end product from the makers of Glasurit products), Sears style JGE Radar Wheels with low profile tires, fresh 1776cc engine with roughly 100 miles, rebuilt trans, all new brakes, new shocks, new tweed interior, new carpet, new Stayfast canvas top, the list goes on.
The body is straight with fresh L31 Dove Blue paint that looks nice, not perfect, but very presentable. The pan received new pan halves on both sides so now it's looking great just like the body. All of the body and window seals are new as well. It is very straight, dry, and should continue to look that way for some time to come.
The interior is all new as well and includes new tweed and vinyl seat covers with piping, new door panels, new carpet, new suede headliner, new wood bows in the top, powder coated top frame, new Stayfast canvas convertible top, clean original dash with radio block off plate still intact, clean original steering wheel, very fresh and clean inside.
Mechanically it features a freshly built 1776cc engine with roughly 100 miles on it, alternator, Bosch blue coil, powder coated tin, new header exhaust, runs great. The transmission has also been rebuilt and shifts nicely. The brake system has also been completely rebuilt with new metal and rubber lines, new master and wheel cylinders, and new shoes front and rear. The shocks are new at all 4 corners as are the low profile tires which look great on the JGE Sears style Radar wheels. The electrical has also been upgraded to 12 volts. The gas gauge is currently inoperable and seems to possibly have a grounding issue, otherwise it's fully turnkey and ready to be enjoyed.
A lot of time and money has been spent on this one and it has produced quite a head turner that will certainly draw thumbs up and compliments on the road.
