areas of surface rust and a couple of lower areas with some pin holes. The bottom
of the side bedrails have some bubbling and pin holes as well. All still very clean for
this type and model of vehicle. Wheel arches are solid. Undercarriage is
very clean. Some bondo cracks near the taillights(see pics), looks like a skim coat.

lights work including the reverse lights. PIAA driving lights. New taillight lenses.

| SUMMARY: This is a very well sorted example. The 1971 is one of the
most sought after years because it is the first year for disc brakes and the last year for
the type 2 engine. Starts right up
and goes down the freeway great. Very minimal rust for this model. The current owner has
spent approx. $9k in repairs and upgrades over the last few years, a big file of
receipts is included.
The car does run and drive great and gets more attention than you can imagine.
Very rare model. If you have any questions please call me at 925-899-2648. Please remember I am on Pacific Standard Time. |
