There is a 69 at the wrecker's yard that runs, but it's been in a wreck. The front driver's side fender is totaled, the frame underneath is cracked in front in one spot. The rear fender is also pretty badly beat up. Looks like he was hit in front to one side and spun around a bit. Motor runs, and has been rebuilt fairly recently, underside appears fairly clean. Looks pretty stock, except the driver's front seat has been replaced. The odo is in 20,000's, we figure it's been turned over once. It has a sunroof and appears to be a stock 1600 4 speed for '69. The back end is backed up against the fence, which faces the highway, so I got to see the engine a little but didn't get the engine number. Did get the VIN. It's a nice Prussian Blue or some color like that. I don't have my Original VW Beetle book around to check the colors and when in the year it was made. It's about halfway through the 69 year from the looks of the VIN if I remember correctly.

Is $600 too much to pay for this?
