This truly stunning top level restoration 1960 comes to us from Oregon
and Im gonna step right up and say that it is the nicest one we have seen in a long time here at Oldbug.
Fantastic restoration from every single angle. They just don't get better than this.
Sold new in Oregon and there its whole life. The original selling dealer was Mid Oregon Motors in Bend Oregon.
The restoration was done with new old stock genuine VW parts wherever possible. The assemblage of these
parts was a world wide hunt that started decades ago and has come to fruition in the completed restoration here before you.
The car has been shown at Concours events and is a known winner, including a Best of Show award!
The color combination is original to the car and is a convertible only color for 1960-61 called Poppy Red.

and authenticity down to the correct marking factory Kamax bolts and hardware throughout.
