A good friend of mine has decided to pare down his Volkswagen collection. The following cars are for sale (all cars located in Tucson, Arizona):

*1957 Volkswagen Bug Custom

Front 3/4 view This Bug was completed about two years ago. The body and pan are completely rust free and a number of modifications have been performed. The original front end has been exchanged for a 4 bolt Ghia front end with disc brakes and the original splitcase transmission has been replaced with a 1968 swingaxle with Type 3 axles and brake components-wider than T1. The engine is a 2010cc. built by Deano's shop in Glendale AZ. The original front fenders have been smoothed out, as were the rear decklid and apron. The brilliant red paint job and the extensive use of powdercoat white accents are a work of art. Wheels are 8 spoke powdercoated Empis. The interior has been completely redone, including Procar seats and power windows. Asking price: $9000, negotiable.

*1968 Volkswagen Convertible Custom

Front 3/4 view This car is really special to me because I built it. The restoration process was a complete body-off-pan thing and included the detailing of everything. The front end was replaced with a Ghia disc brake front end and the engine is a 1974 stock 1600DP with 47K original miles. As with the 1957 Bug above, there is extensive use of white powdercoat. The interior includes 1967 lowback seats rebuilt in cloth upholstery and full carpeting. The top is pinpoint white vinyl with a black headliner. Asking price: $8750, negotiable.

The paint job on this car was performed by the same shop as the 1957 bug and is perfect. Accent trim is in black powdercoat and the interior is done in charcoal gray.

*T3 Karmann Ghia Convertible Project
