Vehicle Detail

Beautiful 1971 Single Cab. I had "Moose" for about a year or so. When I got him he needed some metal and body work. I had the metal work done by one person, then had a local company sand blast the entire pick-up (including treasure chest). I then had it painted green and white by a local painter. The interior seats and door panels are new. The windshield is new with seal. The back window also has a new seal which the glass company reversed but it is totally functional. It has good older tires and new hubcaps. Last week I had the transmission rebuilt and a tune up, valves adjusted, points. plugs and oil. It shifts well but you have to get used to the 1st and 2nd gear as the shifting mechanism is slightly off. You will have no problems once you drive it for a while. The motor compression was strong on all 4 cylinders. The dash is presentable with several age cracks. The treasure chest is also painted green. The body is in great shape. There are some waves in the gates as the prior owner used it to transport wood. There is a slight oil leak like most of the VWs I've owned. The driver side turn signal bulb holder needs to be replaced but the signal works. Wiper, horn, turn signals and lights work. One reverse and another light may be out. Steering is good as are the shocks. I have new rubber seals for the front doors which the new owner can install. Headliner is in good condition with some scrapes and small tears. Passenger mirror cracked. Missing VW emblem. Not sure where it is and if I find it will be put on. I have an original owners manual and all records will go with Moose. Moose is a great vehicle with a large bed and easy fold down gates. If you do not want attention this vehicle is not for you. Usually asked about it every time I park somewhere. Thumbs up are common as well. I was going to use Moose for my antique and collectible business but find it too nice for that, hence the sale. Will not disclose reserve, NOT interested in trades, no BIN. Good luck!!!!!On Jul-10-13 at 14:03:58 PDT, seller added the following information: I cannot find the door rubbers so the new owner may have to purchase them, around 22.00 EA. The truck has seat belts for three and I believe they are original. I am happy to work with your shipping company as long as they give me some notice.On Jul-13-13 at 08:33:09 PDT, seller added the following information: Today after washing Moose I noticed two drips of glue run off from when I installed the engine compartment rubber seal. They are behind the bumper and you have to look for them. I cannot get my hands in there and probably the best way to remove the excess glue is to take the 4 bolts that hold the bumper on. I would do it myself but I just had lower back surgery and I'm not very flexible yet. I would use a product like goof off or a glue remover. I also have a small container of the green touch up paint not the white. I
