1970 VW beetle, a work in progress, and a daily driver ...... It's lowered, has new front disk breaks, new wheels and tires, new electronic ignition, new alternator, new shifter and shift bushings, new throttle cable, and peddle kit, new clutch, new shocks, new fuel lines, new battery, just did the motor mounts. Body work is done, and I painted it with rattle cans, you are welcome to start over. I put low back seats in it. It runs great, I've driven it to Palm Desert, to San Diego twice, and all over LA. It goes where ever I point it. It's fun to drive and a head turner There is no heater, I put J tubes, and extractor exhaust system and Glass Packs on it. The interior is thrashed, I replaced the window regulators, (found German ones) and put door panels on, but the seats need covering, there is no head liner,or carpet, etc, etc, etc. There is rust under the battery pan, an it was wrecked once upon a time on the left front corner.I am not the original owner, and I don't know who is. The mileage has turned over and past it's capacity, and the speedometer is currently disconnected because it was making a horrendous racket. THIS VEHICLE IS A PROJECT , NO GUARANTEE/WARRANTY IS IMPLIED OR OFFERED IT HAS NOT BEEN RESTORED, JUST REPAIRED AND UP GRADED, AND STILL NEEDS LOTS OF WORK. I only accept PayPal, and you are responsible for shipping and, or pickup. It can be driven if you want to come get it.

If you are looking for a classic Beetle Bug and you are a fan of Stephen Kings "The Shining" it won't ever get any better than this OR if you are just looking for a good Bug with lots invested in to making it a great driving car...well you found it! This is a 1968 Type 1 Volkswagen or more likely better known to you as a "Bug". Actor specifically bought this Bug for the character development for his role as Jack Torrance in "The Shining" a stage play by Stephen King. Stephen King cast the production. King originally intended "The Shining" to be a play in five acts much like a Greek tragedy. It took 40+ years for the book to finally be realized as a stage play. The World Premiere took place in Omaha, Nebraska at Sokol Auditorium. In the book Jack Torrance drives a 1968 Red VW Bug. The actor wanted to experience what it would be like to drive across country in a small VW Bug as preparation for the part. Torrance would have driven from Vermont to Colorado in the small car with his wife, son and all of their belongings crammed in to it...all the while battling to stay sober! The Bug has no windshield wipers as the previous owner wanted it to be more of a "rally" car. He also "blacked out" the chrome and tinted the windows. The car has no radio. The car does not start with keys but rather a push button mechanism underneath the dash. We have keys for the doors and trunk lid. Jack Torrance was a teacher at Stovington Prep in Vermont which is a fictional school. They had a "Stovington Prep Pride" sticker made for the back of the car. They also had a "Stovington Prep Parking Permit" sticker made for the front window. The car also features a bumper sticker on the rear window that says "The Overlook or Bust" featuring a stylistic hotel with a skull and mallet. The car has had quite a bit of work done to it. It has new brakes, a new carb, new transmission, newer tires and much much more. We have invoices totaling over 5K for repairs alone! During the run of the show they parked the Bug in front of Sokol Auditorium as if the Bug was parked in front the Overlook - this was a big hit. The car was also featured in the playbill and we have included a photo. The Bug successfully made it from Los Angeles to Omaha and back. The Bug is currently in Los Angeles and you can view it by contacting me for an appt to do so. Take away the car being tied to the show and this is just a SOLID BUG on its own! Please let us know your questions and please see some more media info below.
