If this VW was near me, I'd be over looking at it right now.

I know, it’s next to impossible to find a 64 with the original seat covers . I wonder if the tamper proof seal is in tact on the speedometer cable? |
Or at least not ripped to shit. I have the original ones for mine but they were well beyond saving.

How much less info could he provide?!
Does it run? Does it move? Does it have floors?

Is it me, or is that a comparatively new looking roof rack considering all the patina on that thing? Price is high, but actually looks very original for the most part.

Could have bought it for $3500. I think if he sticks to his price, he'll be taking it with him... |

So it has 40,000 miles, but it needed a full resto?

Wasting your breath. Apparently the consensus around here is low mileage cars needing a full restoration are hiding in every garage these days. Guess I have a 16k mile 64 in my garage with two repaints, a replaced front clip, engine and interior!!

I agree. Both cars will need everything, but on the driven car you're performing weekend services as the car's steward. On the low mileage car you're saying, "Come on, another leak. can't I just enjoy the thing?"

“…built with the best parts…” such as those bumpers.
All that text, and not a word about the heater(?) nor what year the car is. '65, I guess.

You'd have to have the magazine for the article. Too much of that color for me!
