Description
new owner wanted to provide loving home for 44 year old faithful friend born in Germany. She's full of character, charm, and loves compliments from admirers. A well cared for life has allowed her to age gracefully maintaining her natural beauty. Must love adventure, appreciate classic beauty, and be willing to be attentive to her needs. She's never been demanding and has given years of dependability in return as appreciation. Approaching 45 she hasn't lost her spontaneity and is anxious to endear her new caretaker with years of faithful companionship.
Had cosmetic surgery in 2009 including paint, inner, outer, and intermediate rocker panels on both sides as well as right rear quarter. The paint is daily driver status and the color I would describe as aqua /turquoise not light blue as it appears in some of the pictures due to lighting. Has lots of pep and can cruise nicely on highways at 70. New shocks, tires, fuel pump including all fuel lines,oem accelerator pedal with new hinge spring assembly, steel headlight rims and NOS oem brake drums. Shoes, pads, rotors and wheel cylinders are in very good condition. In May as maintenance the carburetors were completely serviced with new gaskets, , idle jets and electric chokes, it starts right up and always idles wel, smooth running and shifting, nice ventilation with the addition of the side jalousie windows a great improvement from the stationary glass, with shipping I paid a small fortune for them but no screens were included. Muffler is heavy duty German like new. Heater exchangers are the originals in exc condition. Replaced the rear side window seals as well as rear hatch seal in May. Engine bay is kept tidy and this year has the overhead hatch for easy engine access with the cover cut out in same carpet. New tune up with points, spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor and fresh casterol 5-30 oil with filter, no air filters were needed they're very high quality and near new. New engine gasket.
When painted I wanted the choice of having the front emblem but also a front mounted spare tire so they designed it to be able to have either without any bolt holes exposed, nifty huh!
Interior is very clean all interior panels are original without front door holes cut for speaker holes which I hate. Headliner is original and fresh and clean no yellowing or tears. The middle seat has a 2-3" tear that I glued down . Interior gets a lot of raves.
The ignition has a button to start it after turning the key its always had it so I never opted to change it. Will need new ball joints they don't effect the driving but will need replaced as the rubber boots are ripped but my mechanic goes to Germany for the summers not returning until mid September.
If you need it shipped send me a message with your city, state and zip code and I'll reply with a price quote a friend deals with several shippers in nearby Manheim which is the largest hub for incoming and outgoing cars on the east coast.Unfortunately there are 2 negative feedbacks on my record the first was from the woman who clicked on the buy it now for my classic mini, paid the deposit and asked me to wait longer than the 10 days but it turned out she needed the time to get a credit union loan which took a lot longer so she forfeited her deposit. The feedback from the new buyer was great as shown, also sold my travel trailer which can be accessed that had a ton of details given but because her friend who drove a literally 40 foot school bus ran over a curb damaging the tire and the axle attached which she blamed for and left neg. feedback sad because my description was extensive and due to 1 thing out of my control gives me neg. feedback I talked to ebay but couldn't have it removed.Please have your finances ready a $500 non refundable deposit is due in 3 days after the auctions end and balance in 10 days. I can help in arrange shipping if needed. If you have less than 5 ebay trades please contact me before bidding and of course ask any questions you have however small they might be.
