This car was languishing at the back of a body shop I use for my antique car painting. They told me the owner of the VW wanted some work done but could not afford it and it was sitting there for a couple of years. I contacted the owner and bought the car from him. He had it for over 20 years. I thought my wife would like to drive it as a fun summer car after I fixed it up since she always says they are cute when she sees them, so I put on new tires, new brakes, new control arms and axles and front suspension parts. New timing chain, tune up, complete fluid flush and filter change, new convertible top and seat covers. I was going to get the car dings repaired, the one rust spot ( top of trunk on left side ) and repainted yellow but when my wife saw me working on it, she said she didn't want one, just thought they were cute. Maybe I should have held off showing her until it was repainted. So.... since I have no use for the car myself, here it is. It starts right up. Runs strong. Does not leak, smoke or have any warning lights on. It needs a good cleaning inside and out. The top and back window are new as of this week and do not leak even during the heavy rains we have had here in S, Florida. You might be able to compound up the faded paint but since it is so hot here I haven't bothered to try it myself. Photos we have are posted and were taken this week. If you want to see something that does not show up in the pictures, please email. This is a great inexpensive car to work on as you drive and enjoy driving with the top down on nice days, As this is a used car, is it sold as / is, where / is, with no warranties.
