Looks like a great start to a project with a restored car price. |
And it seems to be contagious:

I know a way to instantly drop the value of these cars back to 1980 levels... I'll put mine up for sale.

Is there any panel on that car that doesn't have some sort of dent or rust? Sorry, just too much money for someone elses project that they got tired of.
For about 10% of the asking price, I can got out to California and I can pick up a 92 Geo Prizm GSI, which are actually rare.

Oh ok that makes sense. I knew they started sometime around there. On 1968 mustangs they started putting them on the dash so I thought maybe it was a federally mandated thing.

Wow. That looks like it was either stored out side, or in a barn with a family of rodents guarding it.
I suppose if you were looking for one, you could do worse. But that thing will need some money and time to be right.

Jeebus, $30K.. 
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2262475
" The interior has been restored to a high level"
High level of what? JC Whitney? Where do we start?
Wrong seat covers
Wrong door panels
Wrong arm rests
Wrong steering wheel
Wrong dash pad
Wrong windlace
"Dealer installed A/C" with no compressor or hoses evident in the engine bay
Aftermarket carbs with silly looking air cleaners sucking hot air from the engine bay Ooooh... and it looks like you even get an 009!
For $30K, could I at LEAST get the cardboard trunk liner for under the bonnet and the correct coverings in the rear trunk?
Guess not.
Don't get me wrong- it's a nice car! But at least price it realistically and don't go overboard pointing out the flaws and claiming they're "features" of the "restoration".

And... yet another project car needing EVERYTHING redone at a very optimistic completed car price of $15,000:
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2268603
WHERE are they coming from???
I can no longer afford to pay all of the insurance and repairs
So someone else should be willing to pay $15K to pay for this?
She was a gift from my Aunt Sharon, whom I was close with, and left to me when she passed in November of 2008.
I totally get this. Really. But your memories have no value to anyone else. Keep the memories; dump the car.
this car is not common. It's a rare car and I have only seen two other Squarebacks in person in 11 years on the road and throughout adventures all around California and even parts of Nevada
You need to get out more. Looking around my property I see 7 of 'em. Four are mine, three are customer's cars. As far as "rare"... I seriously probably see MORE 1971s for sale than any other model year. Almost every Automatic I see is a '71, too. There are 18 1971s including yours in the Classifieds right now!

It was a standard 66. Kinda neat. Not 34k neat.

I like the part where its powder blue now but the inside tells me it was.... Its the og color you dope. Polish it once in awhile and actually care for it and it would look nicer
