This is a real unicorn of a car. Seems most of these have been poorly restored and maintained or very rusty, needing restoration. Also, it seems more convertibles got saved than coupes and this is one of the rare times I'll say, the coupe is the better looking of the two.

Here we have what is believed to be an honest 31,833 original mile car! Stipulated that way on the clean, Massachusetts title we hold for the car. An extensive and expensive (North of $10K) exterior refurbishment was performed just about 5 years ago. A PERFECT repaint of the original Zambese Green gleams like new. Nice original trim and emblems. Brand new, correct white wall tires and clean, straight bumpers (Painted black) round it off nicely. The exterior of this car is a show stopper!

The interior appears to be completely original but tired in places. The original carpet is all present but has fading and discoloration here and there. We cleaned it up quite a bit and there is room for more but deserves to be replaced with a correct reproduction. Seats are nice, no rips. Horse hair stuffing feels non-existent in the drivers seat bottom. I suspect new padding under the original covers. They are that good. Back storage area is a bit of a mystery. VW did not build these with back seats in 73-74 due to US seat belt regulations. This car has what appears to be an original back seat bottom only. I see some hinges behind that, that suggests maybe a small access door is missing? The panels and carpeting back there appear to be all completely original from 1973.

Now it gets even more fun! This car is equipped with a rare, semi-automatic transmission! A very easy to use clutchless manual shift setup. Basically just a two speed shift with a reverse and low gear also. All controlled by actuators and a torque converter. All of which I've been told was rebuilt and or replaced and it functions perfectly.

An extremely solid and clean body and undercarriage, showing it's low mileage claim. One small soft spot on the left front floor board about the size of a half dollar (see picture gallery). This is an extremely clean and straight body. You'll be impressed.

This car just emerged from a three year slumber. Starts and runs fantastic. Brand new battery. Has an electric fuel pump, ect. Runs and drives great. Brakes were completely replaced before it's slumber, the calipers are still shiny. Brake pedal is a little low however so a brake inspection and or bleed is probably in order. I'd like this to go to a VW enthusiast. Someone that understands the quirks of this car (and these are quirky cars!). I've priced this car accordingly. This is an AMAZING deal for the right person. Fully sorted, this car will easily be worth twice this asking.
