from what research I've done and many phone calls. this car is very desirable. according to vin # it is a early mk2 built between late 1964 and early 1965. as stated earlier the engine most likely replaced with the high compression 1275. it is very peppy ! car is very complete. only missing a couple interior trim pieces. windshield cracked during install. needs most rubber weather stripping replaced. came with no heater when I got it. wasn't an issue for me as I live in South Carolina. has stock seats with no tears but missing seat sliders. just needs a good home and minor finishing touches. it is a fun drivers car. is it show quality ?. O. BUT A VERY DECENT RUN ABOUT. it has no mechanical issues outside of maybe a little carb tuning. starts and drives every time. no warranty expressed or implied. buyer responsible for shipping. immediate deposit of 500. 00 required at end of auction
