I could put my current beetle that needs a lot of work into long term storage and get this to burn around in for the summer. Its already all complete. Do I have fun now for a price or do I wait until next summer before I can get mine on the road?

I'd hit it. You're not going to find an old VW like that in that condition. Those rims are worth a fair bit themselves and you could just swap the old beetle rims and sell them, and reccaro seats are so ballin' too. You have the Vic to bump around in, just keep the other beetle for a turbo project ...

yeah, thing is too, this beetle for sale is an original torsion bar style beetle. If and when I do get my super beetle on the road I can take out a lot of the interior pieces and rims and use the shell of this one as a baja beetle.

sure it would set me back a couple months for building my house, but in the big scheme of things, my basement is perfectly good for me right now, its not like I try to bring girls home
