Description

The VW Thing was on my bucket, and I had been looking for a clean one for over 5 years. I purchased a 2nd owner car that the prior owner purchased it in 1978 and have had a great time with it. Unfortunately, I moved and don't have a place to store it so I'm putting it up for sale. The car is in great shape and the mechanic who worked on it asked where it came from since it had most of its original parts parts.
Here's a run-down on the car:
  • I attached the invoice when it was purchased by the previous owner in 1978 (12% interest!!) I purchased it this spring.
  • The mileage shows 30K, but the odometer is not working
  • Original engine runs great and starts right up
  • The only visit to the shop it had a tune-up and brakes about a month ago
  • Original top is pristine, but it looks like the rear "glass" was replaced
  • Original windows
  • Original seats are in great shape
  • Heater, but I don't know if it works
  • Original floor mats, but they are a bit brittle
  • A couple of the doors need an extra push to lock them
  • It looks like it was repainted at some point, and there are a number of chips as shown in the pictures
  • There is no rust on the pans and it has been garaged by the previous owner
  • There is a bit of rust on each of the door as shown in the pictures
  • Clear title in hand

The reserve price is $11,000. Don't bid if you are not serious. I'll help the buyer ship the car. If you really love
