1959 Volkswagen Convertible For Sale!
From the owner's personal collection!
$29,900
We've restored this classic VW Cabriolet to its original
beauty. It has 48,400 original miles, and is the best of both worlds; a top
quality classic! It has been updated with a factory new 1600cc dual port
hydraulic lifter engine with new everything, pro-built transaxle, dual circuit
brakes, and 12 volt electrics with trick hidden electric heat booster fans, era
accessory fog lights, but has the 1950's quality which is so sought after!
Paint color is original Shetland Grey, with tomato red interior and oatmeal
german square-weave carpet. Convertible top is grey Haartz canvas with original
glass rear window and all trim. No radio, this car never had one.
Rare early convertible "W" decklid with vertical louvers is included. We will
deduct $1000 from purchase price if you prefer the original lid (also shown in
photos below).
This vehicle was a solid southern car before restoration, and even has the
original floors! Battery tray, right front fender, and convertible rails were
only steel pieces replaced during full frame-off restoration.
Rare points of interest are the original restored convertible "flip" mirror, ALL
original glass including windshield, original 36hp engine included, ran good
when removed and carefully stored. 1950's era accessory aluminum pull handles on
doors. Original cut-out key which opens all doors. Glove box pull-handle.
