It is one of only 5,327 VW convertibles built in 1975. It starts, runs, drives, turns, and stops. I bought this car on eBay in 2011 from a seller in California. He installed a brand new vinyl top prior to shipping the car to me. The odometer is not accurate--it was not working when I received the car, so the actual mileage is unknown. While in my care, I did a lot of work to the car. With the extensive assistance of my city's resident VW guru (everyone with an air-cooled VW knew Derek...EVERYONE) we removed the engine and converted from 1970's era computer-driven fuel-injection to a much simpler carbureted system. The previous owner was an aircraft engineer who had installed (2) TWO oil filters to the car; one of those was a HUGE Amsoil truck filter the size of a coffee can! (seriously!) So this car had extra oil capacity with DOUBLE-FILTERED oil running through it for many years and most definitely never ran too hot! We removed that setup and simplified it by installing a single oil filter setup that takes a regular Bosch filter available at any auto parts store. (This way you still get good oil filtration and extra oil capacity without having to track down a replacement for that mega-overkill truck filter!) This was a full conversion with heads off a donor car and the oil inlet off of Derek's old VW bus (we left it blue in honor of Derek's old bus.) The car now runs synthetic high-mileage formula oil. We installed NGK iridium spark plugs, a Compu-fire electronic points system, new plug wires, and a new carb & Empi air filter setup with a chrome air filter cover. I replaced the fuel pump when it died, adding an in-line plastic filter and replacing the main Bosch filter at the same time. Then, I had a professional air-cooled VW shop rewire the electrical to resolve a difficult-to-find short...so I just had him do it all because, you know, new electrical is a good thing. While he was at it, I had him wire in a new 12 volt outlet because you've gotta charge that cellphone. The battery was installed in the past few months, so it's good. The tires are in pretty good shape. I had 4 new ones--nothing fancy-- put on about 4 years ago and probably no more than 2,000 miles put on them since. There is plenty of tread left. Mechanically, this is a great car. When we got it running right, my wife & I drove it from South Carolina to Maryland--about a 1200 mile round trip. We had no mechanical issues the entire trip. Full Disclosure: Ok, so everything that I can think of....The paint isn't perfect. I believe it was originally a bright yellow. You can see some of this in discrete places and where there are light scratches. The front is bright, shiny red, but fades as you go back, to a sunset orange-ish. I believe it sat in a carport in California and got that rear end baked in the sun. It actually gives the car some cool character. There are a few small rust spots--dime & nickel-sized. One of the front fenders has some bubbling of the paint that's relatively new. The floor pans will probably need replacing--there's some rust, which I pictured as best I could. (The front strut mounts look fine.) The interior isn't perfect, but it can be worked with for restoration. The dash has one moderate-sized crack. The front seat covers are pretty good covers, but the seats themselves need redone. The passenger seat is a bit wobbly on the track. The back seat is good. The front seat adjustment levers need knobs, but they do work. I don't know how old the carpet is. Some of it is fine, some of it could use replacing, depending on your plans. The interior door panels are a bit warped, but I have nice OEM replacements new in box that are included with the sale. Some of the window cranks need knobs and/or retaining screws...nothing major. The chrome on top off the passenger window has come loose and needs fixed...also minor. The convertible top is good-- as I said before, was replaced just before I bought it. It has mostly been kept under either a cover or a carport when not in use over the past 5-6 years. The top itself does not leak at all. The rubber around the rear windshield is the original rubber and is dry rotted--it does leak and needs replaced. YouTube can show you how to do this--it doesn't look too bad. Again, it's been kept under a cover to prevent this being a problem. I think I have the replacement seal. I will include it if I can locate it. Pretty much all of the rubber on the convertible frame needs replaced. The frame rubber is mostly dry-rotted, but any water runs off the top like a canopy. Even in a pouring rain, water doesn't come in if the windows are open. There are no heater hoses installed--we live in South Carolina on the coast (it's January and I'm wearing a t-shirt, shorts & flip-flops!) My VW guru and also the mechanic at the VW shop said that my heater channels looked to be in good shape. He tack welded some plates over the heater hose outlets the floor of the engine compartment and temporarily sealed off the hose outlets on the fan housing so that hot air wouldn't blow into the engine compartment. This could all be un-done quite easily so that you could have heat in the winter. As I said before, the car starts, runs, turns, and stops. Occasionally, the carburetor needs a little adjustment for the idle or depending on the outside temperature. The idle screw needs loosening here & there. A better carb would probably be a little less fussy. The brakes work, but I never changed the pads--I'd recommend doing that. There's no stereo or speakers, which just means you get to pick your own. A couple of years ago, I was seriously using this car as a daily driver to and from work until the starter went. Too many projects put the Red Baron on the back burner. I recently installed the new battery & starter and he's running great again. Now, I just have other big projects going and need for this car to get the love it deserves. I have disclosed everything I can think of here. Please examine all photos. This is meant to give you a good idea of the condition of the vehicle. It is not meant to be an all-encompassing condition report. If you would like to arrange a viewing of this car, please message me for more information or with any questions you might have. I am also open to your mechanic coming by to look at it for an inspection. *I plan to keep the wooden gear shift knob pictured in the photos for sentimental value (I love this car!). A plain substitute shifter knob will be provided.*
