Vehicle History

This VW was originally purchased by the S. Cunard & Company Ltd. of Halifax. Nova Scotia (Canada) in May 1973.   This is documented by the original owner's manual included with the sale.  S. Cunard & Company Ltd is the parent company of the ship line that owns the Queen Mary and other known sailing vessels.

I purchased the vehicle from an individual in eastern Ohio in July 2009.   He had just had it repainted and added new tires.   He had used it as a daily driver to and from work for several years.   I drove it over 300 miles home to Michigan and it drove like a champ on the highway doing 55 plus miles per hour.   Since then the above listed repairs have been made it drives even better.

It has been garage kept and has never seen a rain or snowflake since I purchased it in 2009.

I have had nothing but fun driving it during the summer months.   I have not put over 2500 miles on it in the time I've owned it.   It has been started biweekly during the winter months.   It starts usually on the second crank and purrs like a kitten.

I have included numerous photo's that show the present state of the vehicle.   Among these photos are shots of surface and cosmetic flaws.   I have attempted to give a true depiction of the vehicle.   The odometer currently reads 51. 21 which to my knowledge is the true mileage.   I would recommend a new spare tire be purchased to replace the existing spare.

The interior is in exceptional condition with the only exception of a small tear in the rear headliner shown in the photo included in the listing.   New front seat belts have been installed.

If you have any questions please feel to contact me at 248 345-0011.

The car possesses a clear Michigan title.
