So oil does trickle out of it when you aren't looking. It appears to be leaking near or around oil drain plate but have been unsuccessful in confirming or fixing. The push rod tubes do not appear to be the culprit.The welds on the frame between the VW trans-axle and the springer front end are strong and well done.The entire frame & running boards are coated in a spray on truck bed liner material.I put the speedo/odometer on it when purchased a couple of years ago. I don't know the exact mileage. The only thing I can document is the 1,100 or so miles that are on it since purchased.This does have a Wisconsin "reconstructed" title. It was previously titled in Arkansas. It is titled as a 1973 as that is when I was told that it constructed. I was told that the VW portion is from a 1963 Beetle.Selling because it is time for new toys for me. More than $11k invested Shipping dimensions - approximately 6 ft at its widest point x 10 ft long.
