Vehicle Detail

UP FOR SALE IS A VERY RARE, HARD TO FIND MOSTLY RESTORED 1966 NSU SPIDER. THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST PRODUCTION CARS WITH A ROTARY ENGINE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND REBUILT IT FROM THE GROUND UP. I HAVE HAD EVERY NUT AND BOLT OFF THIS CAR AND CLEANED AND PAINTED THEM. THE CAR WAS IN VERY ROUGH SHAPE WHEN I GOT A HOLD OF IT AND UNFORTUNATLY THE ORIGINAL ENGINE WHICH WAS A WANKEL ROTARY ENGINE WAS ALL APART IN A BOX AND SOME PARTS WERE MISSING. THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER WAS BAD SO I NEEDED TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE FOR AN ENGINE. I HAVE INSTALLED A VW BUG ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION IN IT WHICH MAKES IT ALOT MORE RELIABLE THAN THE ORIGINAL MOTOR. THE ENGINE HAS ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES ON IT AFTER A COMPLETE OVERHAUL/REBUILD. ALL THE BRAKE LINES ARE NEW AND ALL CYLINDERS HAVE NEW SEALS IN THEM SO THE BRAKES WORK GOOD. ALL ELECTRICAL ITEMS WORK GOOD, ALL LIGHTS, WIPERS, FAN MOTOR AND HORN WORK. SEATS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, THE CONVERTABLE TOP IS IN FARE SHAPE BUT COULD USE A PROFESSIONAL REPLACEMENT. ALL THE GLASS IS GOOD AND WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN. ALL SUSPENSION AND STEERING IS TIGHT. THIS CAR WAS TAKEN DOWN TO THE BARE METAL AND SEALED, PRIMED AND REPAINTED WITH BASE COAT/CLEAR COAT INSIDE AND OUT. ALL RUST WAS CUT OUT AND NEW METAL WELDED IN. THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS STILL NEED TO BE RECHROMED WHICH I HAVE FOUND A COMPANY TO DO FOR $600.00. IT WILL TAKE VERY LITTLE WORK TO MAKE THIS A REAL NICE SHOW CAR OR AN EVERYDAY DRIVING CAR. INCLUDED IN THE SALE IS THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL IN BOTH ENGLISH AND GERMAN AND A PARTS MANUAL THAT IS IN GERMAN ONLY. CAR RUNS AND DRIVES VERY GOOD. SOLD AS IS SO PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES CAREFULLY.PLEASE FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE, DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO PAY. BIDDERS WITH NO OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MUST CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING. ALSO BEING SOLD LOCALLY SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY. I WILL KEEP CAR IN MY GARAGE UNTILL PICK UP CAN BE ARRANGED.
