| *********** 1958 Volkswagen Karmann Kabriolett Convertible Fully Restored Original Classic VW *MATCHING NUMBERS* *click on any photo to to the right for a larger image* VIN # 18482354-cyl 1192cc engine This amazing car comes to you directly from the inventory of high-end private collector. Only stored indoors. Regularly and properly maintained by his personal mechanic. This is a beautiful restored 1958 Beetle Convertible. Before owner bought it, car had been in the same family for more than 40 years and on the road for only a few of those years. As you can see from the pictures this vehicle is in nearly flawless condition. Current owner did not not perform the restoration; it was done by the previous owner. Previous owner stated it had seen very little driving since the late ‘60s early ‘70s. From the time it spent sitting in high-and-dry storage it was in need of a complete restoration. This restoration took place in 2015 and took nearly the entire year to complete. This car had ZERO rust repairs done to it because the car was rust-free top to bottom. Chrome - All chrome such as bumpers, handles, bezels, etc. are original and were re-chrome plated. This was not a cheapo restoration; this was top-notch all the way. WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS VERY CAR FOR SALE ... CLICK Body - Again, this ‘58 was a rust-free car so there is no need to wonder about the quality of the panel repairs because none were needed. All of the sheet metal is original VW with no aftermarket fenders or modifications. The car was completely stripped inside and out to bare metal before refinishing it to its original color. The paint shows incredibly well. If you are going to restore a car back to its original color and that color is black, your paint shop better know what they are doing the team that did this one surely did. Work was done at a restoration shop for this most important step in the overall project. The cost was considerably higher to go with them but the work matched the price. Interior - Simply put... Beautiful. Original to this ‘58 Convertible was 2-tone leatherette in coral red and sand beige. Many refer to it as salmon and off-white. Call it what you will, either way it is still one of the most sought-after color combinations. The carpeting is black loop with sewn piping. As with the body, no expense was spared and it shows. Chassis/transmission/engine/brakes - The chassis is all original with everything being replaced to make it a perfect daily drive-able vehicle. Starting with the front beam, king and link pins were not worn but were tight from sitting for so many years. To make it drive and steer perfectly down the road they had both of them replaced with original VW components. The transmission is the original unit and shifts perfectly through the gears. All that was needed in this department was a fresh oil change and new axle boots. The complete braking system was replaced front to rear including new lines, hoses, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, hardware kits and shoes. The engine is a #s matching, completely rebuilt (by Doug Nichols, a 50+ year factory VW mechanic) and correct 36HP. The motor was not only rebuilt but so was every component on the motor including the carburetor, distributor, fuel pump, and generator. Car shifts smoothly - no transmission issues. A joy to drive. A few other things to mention... tires are brand new, mounted on correct matching '58 wheels which boast the 15" convertible beauty rings and large logo hub caps. The Convertible top as well as headliner are also brand new and original color coded to match this '58. The original book which came with the car is included. The front cover is detached - otherwise it is in good condition. If you are looking for a 100% completely restored daily driver, this is the car to strongly consider. This car has less than 250 miles since it was restored. There is no visible wear on the brake, clutch or gas pedals. Everything on the car works properly as it was intended to from the factory and it drives down the road very well. EXCELLENT COSMETIC CONDITION - only a few very minor flaws to report: Minor stone nick in metal of the rear bumper. Very minor mark near the front head light on driver's side.
