Vintage 1952 Volkswagen For Sale

This is my 1952 split windowVolkswagen.  A garage kept, Arizona Volkswagen that has been in my possession for over 30 years.  She needs someone who is ready to restore this old gal back to her former glory.

Bought here in Arizona back in 1979 she was part of a local Volkswagen dealership display model.  At the time she was still running, although the brakes were shot, she still got around the neighborhood just fine.  The original build sheet is gone, but the letter from the factory verifies that the original 25hp power plant is still in the back.

Somewhere during her life, Texas I'm guessing she ran in to some hard times and was retrofitted with an newer front end.  The hood, fenders are dubbed up to resemble the old look and style.  The interior is pretty must gone except for some old remnants under the dash and the old rear side pieces that still has the old hounds tooth cloth.

As you can see from the pictures below she's a deluxe model.  Chrome trim package, with working semiphores and heart shaped bulb tail lights.  She got an interior "road view" under the battery.  Meaning she does have a spot of rust in the floor pan under the battery cradle - seems they all go here.

Features the late model 52 options.  Ribbed door handles, updated steering wheel with Volksburg crest at the center and new dash design.  Non-syncroed transmission is still in place, tough to work as a teenage all those years ago. 

That's all I know about her, she's a great old gal that's in need of a home where she can get fixed up and back out on the circuit.

Thanks!  Oh, what's the price?  Any help with that would be great. I think she's worth a lot, but I'm also realistic and reasonable.
