Up for sale is this very desirable May of 55’ Beetle sedan. Finished in its original color of Stratos Silver it’s a real beauty!
I recently purchased this car and have spent the last 2 months getting it back on its feet. It was a stalled-out restoration from about 1 year ago. The car appears to have received a complete exterior paint job along with many new gaskets and seals. Dash paint and front compartment paint is all original and aged nicely.
The work I’ve performed included a complete carburetor rebuild (rebushed throttle shaft as well) plugs, cap, rotor, points, valve adjustment, drive belt, cleaned the gas tank, new fuel lines, rear main seal, clutch, all 4-wheel cylinders, master cylinder, repacked wheel bearings, etc, etc.
This 55’ appears to have all the correct body panels and it also features numbers matching body and pan. The ribbed doors are in excellent shape with no sag or cracks. The flat 4-tab hood is in great shape as well. The rear bumper is an original VW, front is a good repop. All the glass is original big logo Sekurit except for the windshield which is new.
All lights and gauges work (except the aftermarket gauge on the dash). The 36 hp motor is a 59’ model and it runs excellent. Starts easy with a pull of the choke and idles beautifully. This 55’ is very original with a way above average paint job. Looks as good in person as it does in pictures but is not a show car.
This 55’ runs and drives, brakes are excellent, clutch is new, but the gearbox is noisy and tired (yes most split cases are). It wants to pop out reverse so you have to hold it in. The front beam looks pretty original and has a little slop to it but overall steers ok.
