G'day to all, my mate has asked me to sell his 65? single cab Ute.
It has not been on the road since 1979 and it's in need of a total restoration.
He tells me that he did drive it off his trailer and drove it half way up a hill when
a spark plug blew out but it made it up the hill on 3 cylinders! The fuel tank is rusted
along with some of the body but it is fixable (We've fixed worse) here are some pics
I could not find the body plate and the LHD will not open.
89842 mils, Engine Number: 19156580
I well be going buck out there on the 22nd of OCT if you wont more pics or info
you can email or pm me or Ring the owner He's not VW orignated so if you ask
"whats the engine?" you'll most likely get told an aircooled VW one!
ph.(03)5156-9294 mob.0407 049 709 ask for Pete
Price is $500 firm and pickup only!
Vehicle is located at Bairnsdale,
In East Gippsland Vic, approx 3.5hrs from melb!
Cheers
Kevin

you will not be able to restore this car as it supports a rare lichen and any destruction of its habitat could upset the Greenies

Yep Probably! Just keep it a secret or being a cocky he'll have to "fire a warning shot over their heads" Just aim with both eyes closed!
Anyways if ya can't get through to him keep trying or you can email him on PETES EMAIL looks like it'll be a bidding war or a race to the dub first!
I'm out there on Sat / Sun this week so I'll grab some more pics for you all along with a few more details but till then Phone or email Pete
Cheers

Geez Matt,
I don't know, we go away from home for a coupla years and you younguns keep bringing crap home to litter up the joint and frighten the kangaroos and echidnas away!!! Maybe you could knock the wall out in the Chook shed and stick it in there (Kaye says NO!!!) Long as Her Beetle is still wrapped up and in a shed.
Good one, glad I'm 4100ks away and you gotta do all the work.
Cheers, Ian.
