1959 VW Beetle Ragtop For Sale

First of all...you see the patina and the surface rust, but you notice that the car is shiny and glossy!

Closer looks not only show you the gloss, but a long long list of little details that
turn the car from "just some old Beetle" to a real work of art.

Accessories...lots of them, dripping off of every possible location
Lots of the "Rarest of the Rare" stuff too.
Convertible rear decklid, taillight visors, rear vent scoops, ski racks, rubber trims on the bumper guards...
the more you look, the more you see.

And then there is the pinstriping!
Done in very tasteful colors that blend in with the colors of the car
they really play with you as they blend in and out with the rust colors and such.
Note the reflection in the paint here...the car has received a clear coat paint job to seal
Mother Nature's work, and to give it the gloss it needs to be a respected member of
the custom scene.

The JGE Torker wheels are very rare here in the US...these were imported from England
and give a great look and a period feel to the car.

Rear window blinds are another rare accessory.
All new window rubber in the car too.

These rear vent scoops are really slick.

Period ski racks on the convertible decklid.
