It's been raining non-stop here in Portland Or. I did not want to take the car out in the rain so I took these photos in the garage. If it stops raining I will take then post a few more pictures. I am also posting one old picture of the car (taken before a lot of the oxidation was buffed out) so you can see what the entire vw looks like out of the garage. People are asking about shipping. I once sold a car that needed shipped. The buyer sent the shipper to my house and picked the car up after I received full payment into a bank account. I am OK with this kind of transaction although I would prefer a local cash in person buyer. As long as buyer pays for and takes vehicle all is well. Winning bidder gets 7 days to pay in full. No reserve set so bid to win!!!
