The car was finished from the factory in black (L041) and was repainted under previous ownership. Exterior details include chrome bumpers with overriders, a left-side mirror, bright side trim, dual exhaust outlets, and a louvered deck lid. Paint was repaired and blended on the lower portions of the body under current ownership, and the seller notes the bumpers were removed and the bumper brackets were refinished at that time. Noted blemishes include a windshield chip, assorted paint scratches, and pitting and dings on portions of the brightwork and bumpers.
Steel 15″ wheels were repainted in 2021 and wear chrome VW-branded covers along with replacement BFGoodrich thin-whitewall tires. A full-size spare mounted with a Continental bias-ply tire is retained in the trunk. The braking system was serviced under current ownership with a rebuild of the master cylinder and front calipers as well as replacement of the soft lines, front rotors and pads, rear shoes, wheel cylinders, and wheel bearings.
The cabin features Light Sand leatherette seat upholstery along with color-coordinated door panels and charcoal carpeting. Work completed under current ownership has included servicing of the window regulators and tracks, fitment of new check straps and rollers, and replacement of the vapor barriers in the doors. Cracking is visible on the woodgrain dash trim, and the seller notes shrinking and warping on the parcel tray surface.
A two-spoke steering wheel frames a 90-mph VDO speedometer, a clock, and a fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer indicates 38k miles, less than 100 of which were added by the seller.
The 1.5-liter flat-four features a single downdraft carburetor and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. Service completed following the seller’s purchase included a carburetor rebuild, a valve adjustment, oil and transaxle fluid changes, and replacement of the shift rod bushing, muffler, and ignition components.
