Classic Car Overview

This is a beautiful 1972 VW Super Beetle , Texas car with no rust. It has a 1600cc engine, a 4-speed transmission and a 12-volt electrical system. It runs great and looks fantastic , inside and outside.
It has been completely restored from top to bottom with many, many hours of labor . I began by having the exterior of this 72 VW Super Beetle professionally media blasted to bare metal. Then I began the restoration from this point . This car has been completely rebuilt starting with the engine. I made a list of all the work on this bug ,including all the NEW parts.
I have had this car for years, approximately 2 years ago I began the restoration . I have had back surgery and a knee replacement, but I finally completed the project. Initially I thought my teenage son would want this car, but he prefers his 1989 Ford f150 pickup. Now the car is for sale.
I hope you enjoyed looking at this beautiful 72 VW bug .
If you are serious about buying this car and have questions for me, please contact me .

Additional Notes :
This super beetle comes with the original oil bath air filter
The radio does not work; I left it in because it looks better than an empty space . The new owner has the option to install the radio and stereo system of their choice.
#NO seats belts in this car. This is another option for the new owner to pick the color and style of seat belts they would prefer in this car . I have the seat belt bolts, and they are included in the sale of this car. Refer to photos.
The left floor heater valve lever does not work.
Drivers side mirror shows aging/discoloring.
On close inspection ,there is some pitting on the chrome bumper and rim
