@garagekeptmotors – The car looks clean and solid, but we bought the car the way it is. We don't see any rust starting on the body or previous bondo body repairs. To be certain, someone could order a paint meter reading if they wanted. ...
Thanks. Is that something you would perform, and is there a cost to know if there is any body filler?
@Alwayswantedone – Has there been any rust repair to the body? Any body filler? ...

As all too often happens, the chassis did not get the same love as rest of car. Still lots to like here though. Did I miss the drive video? Crash box tr ansaxle or updated? Thanks!
Is the body and pan matching number? Is there any rust issues?

@groovymotors – It looks like the engine case serial number starts with "H" or is it an "AH" with the A not visible in the pictures? Trying to determine year of motor. Definitely not the original. Thank you! ...
I checked and the motor VIN starts with an AH. I took a picture and will have AutoHunter post the photos.

@brutus13 – Has the engine been rebuilt ? Has the transmission been rebuilt ? ...
The car was acquired in current condition, but was told that the motor and trans were rebuilt to stock specifications a few years ago. Based on the current condition and how clean they are, I believe that to be true. That is all we know.
Has the engine been rebuilt ? Has the transmission been rebuilt ?
Thanks for checking out our very nice 1959 VW Beetle. Let us know if you have any questions. GLWTB!
