Any rough guestimates on the price of a 1977 Golf GLS is average condition?

Are they a reliable car? Fuel efficient? I know nothing about old golfs but would love some info. Things to look out for etc.

Cheers

I reckon between $1k & $2k for something decent. Certainly you can get them cheaper for wrecking material. I had a few, they go like a rocker, well not exactly but you know what I mean. Cooling was always a problem though. Most of the ones I owned over heated

im also interested in purchasing and doing up a mk1. :party haha

VolksFolks- are you in victoria or tasmania??? your car looks like a little stunner. how much (roughly) were u after for that one?? just gives me an idea of what they are worth.. cheers

crazy george- do you know any good sites with general knowledge about mk1's? like common mods and stuff.

if i got one, id like to give it a respray, lower it with some nice rims, and get the old motor running a bit quicker. 😀
