Really good bones on body and frame, has been kept inside for last 30+ years and not driven. Just before i got it PO grandson in law replaced fuel tank and rebuilt front end. I got it and replaced the carb with new one, new distributor, wires condenser tune up, replaced all fuel hoses from tank back, had a VW mechanic get all the lights working , the dash lights fixed the fuel guage working replace wheel bearings , drums , brake shoes, brake lines, fix parking brake, adjust valves, and anything else I could think of. It drives really well and stops on a dime. The engine is not stock, the PO gave to a grand daughter and she did not have all the particulars on the VW engine size. I have driven these for 50 yrs or so and it has way too much power to be stock. I removed the 2 bbl carb and intake, replaced it with new intake manifold and new stock ict34 carb, because i wanted it to drive well idle well and start easy, which it does. I put a stock accelerator cable on it so the gas pedal would function as vw designed it.
The body is 99% rust free , exception is floor pan rear passenger side.
Interior has good original type seat covers and had new door panels years back before it sat in warehouse for 30 years so they are decent but not perfect. carpet is missing on kick panels
The heat still works and won't gas you ( which means the heater boxes are good on exhaust).
Steers straight doesnt shimmy
I'm thinking the struts are lowered , tires good
Needs the new fender installed which i bought from CIP1 in Ca.
Body straight as can be
i have a tow bar for it which cost me $250 and is useful.
The rear window could use new weatherstripping, but the top is real good, it is not white it is off white to match the 2 tone paint
I decided b4 i spend on a new paint job and the few remaining things I would offer it up to some one in the rustbelt, who cannot buy a Vw this rust free and apparently accident free as well.
I bought it because the unbelievable condition of the body
I have alot of time and effort getting it running this well, and payed the mechanic more than I should have had to to fix all the aggrevations and get the brakes right
i can be reached four 0 4 four three 5 six 9 four three, if you want to talk however i need a text 1st
these videos show everything
