Paint is still in Great shape! Interior is aall matching heavy duty Tweed material, and is in immaculate condition!Glove box and hood relics, are both locking as it should be with aconvertible. Has stock radio, but the real booming 2 amplifiersmultiple speaker and 10" sub woofer set up is in the custom glove box,housing a removable face modern CD/stereo along with 2 VDO chromegauges, one to monitor the oil pressure and the other to keep a eye onthe oil temp. Your probably wondering, why the gauges? Well there is nostock 1200 pushing this rig down the road.no sir, strap on theWolfsberg crested seat belts folks, cuz this baby scoots along thehighway, powered buy a EXTREMELY RACE BALANCED 1915cc Duel 40 Dellorto carburetorswith a 120 cam and high flow heads, that revs to the moon! Has a greatexhaust note with it's 1 5/8"FAT BOB silver ceramic coated exhaustsystem.Thetop is "Tan" Stay Fast Canvas material, and looks like a millionbucks!!It's padded on the inside, and has a color matching mole hairhead liner. The carpet I believe is German Square weave and is in a Oatmeal color. The interior is just amazing, remarkable, breath taking,awesome, immaculate, no matter how you want to describe it, it just stops people in there tracks.literally!! The total mileage is 5,942 since it was restored..As shown on the odometer This Vert was the VolksWorld cover car back in Feb.2003 (and comes with that issue) It's a multiple show winner, and is inimmaculate condition. Always kept in a heated garage and covered, alongwith my other show cars. Bought it for the wife, but it was a low rider,Her not understanding how to dodge a pot hole or go up a driveway at aangle, led me to raise it back to stock height, and go the white wall onRaders theme. There is a 5th spare, just not pictured.. The interioris a heavy duty tweed through out, with matching door panels. Has akick ass sound system, with big amps and subs and the works, deck iscustom fit in the locking glove box. Top is a tan Stay fast canvas withmatching boot, and cloth headliner, all very nicely done (best I haveever seen in fact) Motor is a 1915cc extremely balanced and tuned unit,sporting a 120 cam, C.B. straight cut gears, and a set of perfectlytuned Dellortos 40's. The exhaust is a ceramic coated merged header witha matching ceramic coated Fat Bob muffler set up. Motor is full flowedwith a secondary 96 pass oil cooler, with a attached fan on a (under thedash switch) Chrome VDO oil temp and pressure gauges are in the glovebox so you can keep a eye on things!! As you can see the motor ischromed out so things run a bit warmer, but one flick of the switch andit will cool right down to 160/170 deg.Wife wants to sell it to put the money into our rental house, not my choice but it's hers to sell. The tow hitch shown in the pictures is NOT included in the sale, that was sold last summer.. To see many more pictures, look for hidden link above, just paste together between the (u) and the (s) and that will send you to my photo bucket link. Also can bee seen on thesamba under early convertibles. .thanks for looking!! I forgot to mention, that this vert is fromnice dry Southern California, and has been in the Northwest for about 3 years now. And has always been in a heated garage or shop covered with a car cover, and up on a 4 post storage rack, nice and dry and out of harms way, and only driven on summer sunny days. It was bought off of old bugs dot com, and shipped up here. I did talk to the builder/owner of the vert before I bought it, and got the run down on it, and alot of the info on it and it's build is in the VolksWorld artical as well If you have any questions please call me at 253-two6two-3one7zero or write me at sbuzick at G mail dot com, for any questions or more pictures. .. Will ship World Wide, but Buyer is responsible for shipping cost andfees, but I will help, with my time and labor in dealing with shippers,if need be. .. I can also put it back to the way it once was, lowered with Polished EMPI 5 spokes 135's and 165's If the perspective buyer wants it in that configuration?? Nothing but a turn of a few wrenches!! But you only get 1 set of wheels and tires.your choice of how you want it set up!!. ..scott
