1978 VW Convertible, white on white with fuel injection motor and manual transmission. The car has been in storage for a few years but will run with fresh gas. Exterior- The paint on the car is flaking as seen in the pictures and it has a few minor dents here and there with the worst one being on the passenger door as shown. All four fenders are in good shape, the hood has paint flaking and the trunk is in nice shape. The front and rear aprons have not been altered and are good and straight. The top is cut in a few spots and will need to be replaced. All of the glass is without cracks. The trim is there but the bumpers show surface rust on the tops. The running boards are in good shape and you can stand on the rockers and the car doesnt budge. The tires are very nice with lots of tread. Three of the rims are missing the center caps. Interior- The front seats are ripped but original and the rear seat is in good shape. The dash is without cracks and is in excellent condition. Doors panels are also nice. One kick panel is missing under the rear seat. The headliner will need to be replaced. Floor- The floor is solid and has not been repalced but it does have a hole under the battery. The very front of the pan is rusted through and should be repaired. Mechanical- The original running fuel injection 1.6 liter motor is in it and will run well with good gas. The tranny works fine Tilte- I do not have the title for the car. It was lost and could help obtain a replacement if needed. ATTTENTION: The last picture is of a 1979 I have that is virtually rust free from California and is NOT included in the auction but is for sale. It's complete but apart to be restored. Summary- All in all this is a pretty solid car. You can stand on the rockers and the car doesnt move at all. The doors still open and close nicely. Its a non-altered car that needs a little tlc to make it nice. A paint job and top would go a long way. Please ask questions and pre-sale inspections are encouraged. I have described this item to the best of my ability and again, please ask questions.
