This 1961 VW bug has spent its entire life in North Carolina. It was owned by a well-known mathematics professor Leonard Carlitz (Duke University).
Upon his passing, his mechanic took ownership to sell the car and I purchased it from him. (That was approximately 4.5 years ago.) It's virtually a two-owner 1961. My intent to buy was to restore it, but a very busy life curtailed this near-term possibility—so I have decided to part ways. With VWs of this age, there are quirks, but this one has a wonderful nature about it nonetheless. It's still a 6-volt (self-charging) and it drives very well. Almost everything is original except the rear lid handle, paint on front fender—minor touch ups to keep it road safe through all the years. Regardless this VW is something very difficult to find, especially these days when they've been totally redone or personalized. In 4.5 years I have accrued 10 k of the rebuilt 79,800 k miles. New tires, new battery, new generator, and regulator, recently changed oil, pans and heating channels are solid but have some surface rust rear pan under battery has been replaced. This model doesn't have the fuel gauge, it has the 3-position fuel tap—always a fun time. Amazing rare VW.
