Representing the final year of production for the very versatile and now rare Volkswagen Squareback Type III Wagon, illustrated herein and now offered for your consideration is an absolutely fun and nicely restored representation of this model. Originating out of West Florida, and owned by a VW restoration and repair facility owner, it received a rather comprehensive, very nice driver quality restoration. From my understanding, as conveyed to me by its original owner, the engine was overhauled at approximately 60K miles, and twin Weber carburetors were installed, replacing the problematic fuel injection in most of the models. The current mileage indicates approximately 98K, however I noted the odometer became intermittent after a couple of months of driving. The Speedometer functions normally and consistently. The body is very solid, with one quarter size bubble to the left front lower fender which has not changed. Additionally in the restoration a small metal patch was installed directly beneath the drivers seat floor, and another one under where the battery sets under the right rear seat. All else appears fine, other than minor surface rust here and there on the underside of the car, very normal for the vintage. Very nice glass, new weatherstrips and interior, all the lights function normally and yes, there is heat, although these cars were well known for not producing a lot of it. Tires are in excellent condition. New German manufactured front rotors and pads have been installed, and all oils have been replaced, new spark plugs, and points and condenser. The engine will probably require a valve adjustment in the near future in that they are getting a little noisier. I simply haven't had the time to do it. The engine runs very nicely once warmed up,(a little cranky when cold due to the carburetors) but don't expect James Bond acceleration. These are very nice, and very fun urban and beach cruisers. Not terribly fast. The Squareback Type III comes with two additional center side pop-out vent windows and a factory tachometer (installs where the clock is located), all of which can be added to the car if you wish. Please feel free to ask any questions. I strongly suggest personal inspection, or by a qualified representative of your choosing prior to purchase. As the old saying goes, "its not what you expect, but what you inspect." I do not want any surprises after the sale, or negative feedback because someone didn't do their homework. Inspection as a condition of sale after the auction has ended will not be permitted. I respectfully reserve the right to end the auction early given the Squareback is for sale locally, and on other international sales venues. Spring is only 11 weeks away, and prices for these cruisers are going to escalate as we draw nearer. Thank you for the interest and looking. Enjoy the pictures. Chris
