WE BOUGHT THIS VW THING NEW IN 73. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED BUT WAS NOT RUN FOR A FEW YEARS. I PUT IN A NEW GAS TANK, LEANED CARBURATOR INSTALLED NEW TIRES AND FIRED IT UP. IT RUNS VERY WELL. THERE IS NO RUST EXCEPT FOR A SMALL CORNER NEAR THE BATTERY WHICH I HAVE A PHOTO OF.THIS IS A VERY RARE ONE OWNER CAR WITH GOOD TITLE AND WILL DRIVE ANYWHERE. YOU WILL SEE THAT THE REAR UPHOLSTERY HAS SOME TEARS AND THERE IS A NICK HERE AND THERE BUT THE ORIGINAL PAINT IS VERY STRONG.. THE TOP FRAME IS ORIGINAL, ITH A NEW TOP WHICH IS VERY TIGHT SO I AM LEAVING IT DOWN FOR THE PICTURES.ASK ME ANY QS OR COME SEE AND DRIVE THE CAR IN PAWLING NY.PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR IDF YOU DONT HAVE THE MONEY OR ARE NOT PREPARED TO BUY IT AT THE END OF AUCTION. YOU CAN COME AND DRIVE IT HOME..THE PICTURES ARE NOT VERY GOOD BUT YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU A RE BUYING. I AM NOT A VERY GOOD PHOTOGRAPHER.GOOD LUCK AND THE RESERVE IS VERY FAIR.
