About this car

What the photos show
- Red paint is glossy and even in the two exterior photos, nose and flanks smooth — no paint budget from these photos.
- Dark speckling shows along the lower sill in the side photo — check it in person; if it is rust breaking through, budget for sill work.
- Chrome bumpers, trim and hubcaps are bright — no re-chrome money from these photos.
- Wide whitewalls are bright and the chrome caps tidy — tread depth can't be judged at this distance, so check before ruling out tire spend.
- Black soft top is up, taut and clean-looking in both photos — its seals and rear window can't be judged, so see it lowered and raised.
- Only two photos in the gallery, both exterior — the interior can't be judged at all, hold back money for that inspection.
- No engine bay photos — can't judge it, hold back money for that inspection.
- No underside photos — can't judge it, hold back money for that inspection.
Money: the two exterior photos support the $39,999 ask on paint, chrome and top only; interior, engine and underside are unseen, and the sill speckling needs a close look.

When they unveiled it, the VW executives were so taken with it that they committed to production immediately. The car went on sale in 1955, ran for 20 years with almost no changes to the body, an
