Audio Player Copyright 2009 Ver2.04 You are bidding on a beautiful 1971 VW Double Cab dropgate pickup truck – a newly refreshed restoration – customized with a unique rear bumper, new paint and interior and an upgraded drivetrain. This is a great example of a late vintage crew cab, twin cab truck and I am sure it will please the lucky winner of this auction. It is a perennial winner of shows and trophies in North Texas - Bug Stop People’s Choice Award 2012, Best of Show Truck @ Hogs and Harleys All Car Show 2010, Second Place – Double Cabs – Ennis VW Show 2009, Special Interest – Christian Classic Cruiser Show 2012, First Place Import, Christian Science Classic Cruiser Show 2011, Top 20 People's Choice - Sonic All Car Show 2011, Top 20 Black Gold VW Show, 2010.It is a quick, reliable driver with its powerful drivetrain and gearbox for maximum drivability and fun on the road. It is a showy, great-looking contender inside and out, and it is an excellent investment given the scarcity of good condition late VW double cab trucks. Major advantages: Great exterior restoration – new paint on super straight body. Great interior restoration – smooth dash, new seat coverings and panels. Powerful Type 4 drivetrain – 2000cc, low miles on rebuild. Great looking dropgates – solid and straight. Other special items: Gene Berg shifter – extremely cool. Kenwood AM/FM Compact Disc player – sounds great. Power port (cigarette lighter) – your cell phone will love it! New floor mats, front cab and crew cab areas. Original wooden truck bed slats. Hidden battery and wiring. Mechanically, you’ll find a fresh, peppy 2000cc Type 4 drivetrain that will get you off the line in a flash, mated to a straight-axle gearbox designed to handle modern freeway speeds without breaking a sweat. You’ll have no trouble coming to a safe stop with newly refurbished, fully adjusted front disc brakes. The engine is nice and clean, with all routine services having been recently completed, including fresh oil change and sump kit, timing, valve and fan belt adjustments. Here is a quick bullet point list of its super mechanical features: Exterior-wise, this fabulous double cab is extremely straight, benefiting from excellent new paintwork (in Pearl White), with wave-free body panels and no evidence anywhere of collision repair. The dropgates and truck bed are in excellent condition. Other external features include the following: New windshield. Hand painted red and blue pinstripes across nose and beltline. New right and left outside rear view mirrors. Authentic Hella rear turn signal lenses. Beautiful smooth roof and driprail. New window rubber throughout. New Wiper blade assemblies. Cool VW logo’d mud flaps. Interior-wise, the restorer opted for gray tweed cloth seat covers, clean white perforated headliner and black original-style interior panels. Above the solid floors, you’ll find new floor mats with carpet-trimmed seat pedestals. All window glass, including cab and vent windows are fully operational and free of chips or cracks. All vent locks and felt channels are in good order. All dropgates and doors, including engine door, open, close and lock properly. All door and window rubber seals are in excellent condition. Electrical system is the more reliable 12-volt system. All exterior and interior lighting including dash lights and indicators, speedometer and gauges operate properly. All headlights and turn signal lights work properly. All fresh air ventilation controls are in good order.
