*Excuse the posting. nbsp;disappearance and re-posting of this car: I accidentally started it off with the VIN number from another car in our family and had to change that. Now it is on here for good/until it sells.
I would not be selling this car. but my wife needs a truck for work. so my pride and joy must go.  
My story about this car goes like this:
The summer before last I found this being sold by a collector in Oakland California who purchased it from a another collector who acquired it from the woman who was the original owner.  
The mileage is pretty close to accurate but apparently there were a few months when the woman owned it and the odometer wasn't working. but she had it fixed. Before I bought it I asked my mechanic if it looked like a low-mileage car to him and he said he definitely thought it was.  
The car starts up runs. and drives great. Alignment is right on. It has good power for a little car and feels solid on the road. I've driven it back and forth from LA to San Francisco a couple times along the coast. and those were some of the most enjoyable drives I've ever taken - the car handled the 400 mile trip with ease.  
For a while I thought the car was getting hot in traffic because that's what the gauge was telling me. but it stayed cool on long drives and any other type of driving that wasn't stop and go. so I changed the thermostat. the radiator. the water pump. timing belt seals and pulleys. but that didn't fix the problem. My mechanic said the oil temperature stays where it should be. and that's what mattered. So for now it has been concluded that the problem is just with the gauge in the control panel. I had planned to switch that out soon too. but won't have time before the sale. The car has never over heated.
The timing belt and pump were changed just last week. The week before that I did a new K&N air filter. bosch fuel filter and new fuel pump. I also changed the oil pan and gasket to end a small oil leak that was coming from the pan. That took care of it.  
The radiator was done last year.  
All belts are new.  
This car is a completely original. never-molested example of one of Volkswagen's most classic iconic models.  
The interior seems to be all original with minor tears on the top of the back seat. Both front seats look great. Carpet seems to be original and in very good shape - it could just use a little clean. Headliner is new. Absolutely no rust on the body. There are little trim pieces here and there that could be replaced. but overall a clean example with most everything intact. The rubber bumper guard is rippedon the rear bumper. but I will include an OEM replacement that I sourced. In addition the driver's side door handle is a little loose. butoperational. I will include a replacement for that as well.  
Please write with any questions you may have.
Happy bidding!
