1972 VW Squareback.
For the good: Car was restored in 2000. New shocks and lots of mechanicals were replaced at same time like rotors. calipers. steering box. shocks. etc.  Body was stripped to bare metal and received new outer lower rockers. POR'ed. and repainted in original single stage. There are some chips and a few scratches. but probably nothing that can't be polished out since it's single stage. All new rubber was installed as well as a a new headliner and new carpet.
Transmission was rebuilt and used engine was put in after previous engine failed. We had it fitted with dual weber carbs. Generator was just replaced recently. as the original died from running the gas heat all the time. Tires were replaced less than 500 miles ago as well.  
Car is fitted with a sony cd changer. but with original radio and upgraded single center speaker. All vinyl is otherwise original and in excellent condition. VDO guages for oil temp. pressure. and cylinder head temp are all functional.
For the bad: I'm taking this to the extreme - I don't want anyone to be unhappy. It's a great driver and with a little work. can be a show car. Car suffered from being driven lots and also from being stored outdoors for many years seeing rain and snow. Car has some rust in the front tire wells down where the pan meets the body. Pan also had some rust holes in the rear battery area so has some so-so repairs there. No spare tire or spare tire well. Gas heat pump sometimes doesn't want to run from lack of use. Takes a bit of priming to get it to work. Bumper and bumper overriders have some corrosion - bumpers were re-chromed and NOS overriders installed. but they did not age well. Engine leaks oil - we will have it serviced prior to pickup with fresh oil. Wiring is functional. but not pretty. Air intake grills on rear fenders have some bubbling and probably need refinishing at some point. No rear seat belts. Odometer does not work.

Lots of upgrades:
Factory clock deleteFactory coco mats (a little UV fading)Factory rear mud flapsFactory parcel trayFactory gas heaterNOS dash (now starting to crack a little)NOS gas cap flap rubberNOS driver's side VW blind spot mirrorNardi steering wheel (cannot tell if this is repro or original - it is very nice quality regardless)Original EMPI wheelsEuropean tail lensesUsed rare/vintage Hella driving lights - make sure you see everything at night! Similar to those used on Porsche 356s. CB performance rear disc brake conversionElectric fuel pump
I used to drive this car all the time. it just hasn't been drive in the last two years much. so time to sell.
