Valves adjusted, timing set correctly, a new carb a new fuel pump the right plugs... The motor was rebuilt however the p.o. got it uhm how do you say WRONG... He had 8lbs of fuel pressure running into the little 1 barrle carb. I got it all sorted and man is it fun. Just thought I would share. Oh yeah 1970/4 speed and it is for sale $9K SHOWS 20K miles

It was tons of fun to build and he was very popular! Attach file: BUG 1.jpg (0.00 KB) BUG 2.jpg (0.00 KB) BUG 3.jpg (0.00 KB) BUG 4.jpg (0.00 KB)

Grand Imperial Pooh-Bah San Pedro, CA 20859 Posts Member since: 2005/9/7 0:00	My Mom had a 63... slow isn't the word for it. But they are well built and very durable. I remember during the snows in the late 70s, the Bug was the only car that could make it... it started, which nothing else would do and had traction to move! I suspect the car is worth more than $9k... Once fixed, I would ask more like $15k and work down.

It's hard to believe how slow it is, I had a guy the other day go around me and he was ranting as he passed me. All I could do was laugh as the little bug was doing the best it could without flogging it anyways... It's all sorted now, I got 5000.00 in the car 600.00 shipping it to Ohio and 400.00 in repairs $15K I would feel sooo greedy I figured ask 10K sell it for 9K qucikly and I'll have pictures and a couple cool memories of owning a beetle. I now know a little something about them too which is cool. I love cars...
