This car was one of my unicorns; I had one as a young adult that was this same color combination. About a year ago I thought I would start looking but these cars are difficult to find and then I had to have it in the Azzuro Metallic and Buckskin Interior to make it worse. Most were white/black or red/tan; but I was going to hold out for what I had owned. Early this year I found this car and contacted the owner who had it since 2007 and he purchased from what I remember was the original owner or someone that had for a very long time. The car had not been driven much and he had listed the car; then took it down, listed the car then took it down. I told him my story and he agreed to sell it to me; knowing it would go to a good owner and someone that would drive it.
Well, in the lengthy amount of time it took to get the car acquired and then shipped from North Carolina; I found my even larger Unicorn, a 1966 21 Window VW Bus. So,unfortunatelythe car that I had been looking for a long time needs to go to a new owner as I need a large amount of money to get this Bus 100% Original. The gentlemen I purchased the car from will not be happy with me; that is why I am listing oneBayknowing it will go to a good home.
Here are some things about the car.
Good

- Clock does not display
- Radio does not seem to work - did not explore to see if just not hooked up
- Air Conditioning seems to work when driving but the fan does not engage. You can hear the compressor kick on.
- Power windows go up and down.....very slowly like every other Italian car. This is not a problem with the windows, they all do it.
- Tires are in good condition; I would replace. Ididn'tbecause a friend stated that someone may want to add 15" wheels.
- If sold in California, I do not have a smog certificate.
- North Carolina Title is clear in Previous Owners Name.
I have a brand new (see pic) Ansa Exhaust for the car that I didn't install in case a purist purchases. It will not come with the car but you can purchase for what I paid for it which was $300. I will even have installed for you if you would like. Car is sold where is, as is and I described to the best of my ability. No warranties have been suggested or implied. I think this is an amazing car that you will enjoy for many years; it needs to be shown off and driven. Good Luck.
