this 1973 VW thing is ready for work or play.Heavy duty bumpers that tie into the spine of the car with trailer receiver hitches front and back were custommade at great expense.Texas ranch grade or Baja racing comes to mind.The frontbumper has an electric winch installed as well as cattle guards.The rear bumper also serves as a skidplate and engine protector.The car has just been tuned with a valve adjustment and an oilbath airfilter service.The engine runs silky smooth,the transmission shifts easily and tight,no v-dub slop here.The 15 inch tires are at 80 percent and the seats look new.These cars are gaining value fast,they are the best to drive and easiest to own in terms of maintenance and parts availability of all the minimoke,citroen mehari class.Get yours while they are affordable,the thing was only produced in 73 and 74 for the civilian market,a lot longer than that for the german army. Famous owners include Rommel and jeff bridges,quite the spread.For questions,inspections,testdrives,please call 214/707 9525 The 73 has the desireable ebersbaecher gas heater installed by the factory.Texa buyers have to pay state tax title and license fees.
