I have a 74 standard beetle for sale.  Body is straight, new interior,
carpet, pan is covered in truck bed liner, set up for 9 inch speakers, and
Woofer.  All rust has been sanded, and converted, and primered.  Needs new
running boards.   She is a wonderful ride.  Lots of power.  My husband hates
VW's, and I own three now.  He is a little overwhelmed.  : )  I need the
money to get my 76 camper on the road, so the beetle has to go to a new
home.  I would like to get  $1800.00 for it.  Anyway, sorry to bug ya, just
thought I would give you another option.  Oh, I live in Oregon.
