So no center grubs, two through-rods, and the entire front of the vehicle is riding on two tiny shock studs in the lower torsion arms  Lame, sooooo lame.
$37.5

Damn! I guess we all have that choice to make sometime in our futures.
I hope it is going to a good home that will retain the originality you have so well preserved over the years.

Even though I am not thrilled about selling it, the car is going to a local couple who are taken by the condition and history of it. He has been wanting to buy it
from me for several years and I finally gave in. |

Another overpriced “all original everything” bug….
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2670809
The pictures are shit, the wheels aren’t two tone, the door panels are wrong, the seats are wrong and overstuffed, the floor mats are wrong, the carpet is wrong, the turn signal lenses are wrong, the tank color is wrong, the glove box is wrong, the generator backing plate is wrong, the headliner is wrong, the visors are wrong, the rear view mirror is wrong, the wiper arms are wrong, the trunk liner is missing, the wiring cover is missing, the flasher relay is wrong, the bumper brackets are probably aftermarket and painted wrong, and who knows what else. It’s sad that some people won’t have a clue about any of that being wrong, and they’ll possibly overpay for that car. There’s an abundance of cars like this coming up for sale. |

He deleted the photo where you could see at least one seam was split
Maybe there's an extra zero in there?  |
It's for front and rear seats, and they looked to be in good original shape to me - but I didn't see the split seam. It looks like the price has been lowered to $1200.
