1969 Volkswagen VW Beetle Rolls Royce kit car. This is a solid car with very little rust. There is a small rust spot below the right rear window (see pics) and a few small soft spots under the landau roof and that is all the rust I have found on the car. I am guessing the soft spots on the roof were caused by water infiltration through the vinyl over the years. There are maybe two 4-6 inch diameter soft spots that I can feel.
I have used a brillo pad on the front and rear bumpers and they look better now than they did beforehand...very little rust and pitting.
Additionally, I have been working on the hubcaps to give them more of a Rolls vibe. All four are done and I bought a new set without the spinners and Rolls logo, just in case one gets lost while driving. The spinners I bought on Amazon and the Rolls center decals I bought on ebay.
There is a tow hitch, which can be put on or taken off easily by sliding it into 2 brackets that are welded to the frame and then bolting with four bolts. When you buy it, remind me to get the hitch, as it is removed from the vehicle right now.
The floor beneath the battery has corroded away and was replaced some years back by someone else with a piece of 3/8" plywood. The area under the battery is solid, but you may want to cut that area out and spot weld a new piece of steel to restore this area to 100%.
It was running when I bought it last year and I drove it around on the seller's farm. It had been stored in a barn for many years.
The paint is fair and has scratches and chips. The body is solid, except for one small damaged area on the front left fender and that is just a small crack.
The front Rolls Royce grill is in need of re-chroming. Also, the chrome accent strips that run down the sides of the vehicle have been removed and I have purchased new material to replace them.
You will see in the photos that the right backup light lens is broken.
Photographs show tinted windows on sides and rear, but I have scraped the tinting off because it had deteriorated badly.
It is a 4 speed manual transmission and the odometer shows 33,593 miles, but I cannot be sure that it is accurate or if the odometer even works, although I do know the previous owner towed it to car shows.
Comes with roof rack and tow bar. This vehicle tows very easily. We towed it from southeast Oklahoma to West Plains, Missouri with no problems whatsoever. The lights on the roof rack and the wiring harness for towing (shown in pictures) are included.
This is a good solid project car if you're looking for a piece of history and a fun conversation piece.

Sold as is/where is.
I received and accepted an offer from a two year ebay member with no activity in the last twelve months and zero feedback. They then refused to communicate with me until I received a cancellation request, which I accepted. For this reason, I reserve the right to cancel any transaction by a buyer with fewer than 25 feedbacks, ebay membership less than 1 year, and feedback rating lower than 98%.
