Volkswagen Beetle 1303 LS Fuel Injection Karmann Cabriolet. Import California - Rust-free General Here is offered a very rare VW Beetle Karmann Cabriolet – a unique opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors. This cabriolet built by Karmann is one of the most sought-after versions of the iconic Beetle. It concerns an exceptionally beautiful specimen in very good condition; the car is drivable and ready for immediate use, which makes it valuable for both collectors and investors. Exterior The car has recently undergone an extensive restoration, with the fenders repainted inside and out, and the inner panels were taken in the color as well. The car is undamaged, only the rear underbody plates have been professionally replaced under the battery. The soft top is somewhat older but functions well, the cover over the roof is also present. Nice original chrome wheels with hubcaps and new tires with whitewalls. Interior The interior is fully original and in good condition. The dashboard is also original, no cover. The condition of the interior underscores the authenticity and careful preservation of this classic. All original instruments are present. The front seats and rear bench are in good condition. Mechanical/Engine The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts as it should. The old wiring loom has been thoroughly checked and repaired. A lot has been renewed, including: New tires. New brake calipers New master brake cylinder. New injectors. New fuel tank float. New fuel pump. Chassis The chassis is original and in a particularly neat, solid condition, reflecting the overall quality of the vehicle. Documentation The car is delivered with full documentation and USA title and import documentation Including instruction booklet. This VW does not require a COC document (registered in 1996) for registration within Europe given the age of the car. PICKUP: This car is viewable and potentially pickup-able in Damwoude, Netherlands. OTHER INFORMATION: A rare opportunity to own a genuine time capsule — an unrestored, original and in exceptional condition, technically fully updated and ready for many years of driving pleasure. As this car, after waking from a year-long storage in California, has received good maintenance, there may still be something that comes to light requiring attention. We try to describe the cars as honestly and correctly as possible but they are used vehicles. So there may always be something that needs attention or shows signs of use. We therefore ask you to view the car if in doubt. We can help with transport across Europe.
