Not mine but I was considering buying it till a reality check kicked in, I am told this car has original everything except the front RH guard, it has been replaced recently as some clown backed into it. Presently owned by a realy nice little old lady (no I'm not telling fibs and yes I have known her for plenty long time) and has been profesionaly maintained by dedicated VW mechanic (old school) for the entire time she has owned it (about 15 years I think) receipts available for everything spent in that time. Head lining a little ratty, has a new battery , motor recoed about 5 years ago original paint Honey Brown. Engine number F2108467 VIN / Chassis number 1102600911I think it says 1500 on rego papers but has 1300 script on engine lid. looking for $3000 but I'm sure there is a bit of room to move, car is in Lake Macquarie,
Don 0419240315 or PM me with any questions.
October rego if I recall correctly
Please remember it's not mine, I just told her that I would put it up here for her because she wants it to go to someone who will look after it.

As per first post

Forgot to add that the bumpers are in pristeen condition, lady used to work at a chrome business in Sydney and they redid them for her as a retirement presie, something about being copper coated b4 chrome or some such thing.

Almost certain it's a '70 mod.

yep...and 12volt not 6 !

Hokee Craig I'll chek that out, I'm sure she said it was a 6v but I'll check again to make sure.

Its between nov 70 and jan 71 model cos its like my old 12/70 1500 bug which had a very close chassis number

Its got the Sbug style big 5 slot defroster vents on the dash but no side crescent vents behind the back window

decklid and aircleaner are from a 68 though

has it got drums or discs on the front?
the highback seats arent vw either

Hmmm, seems then that it isn't all original, keep the questions coming and I'll get the answers soon as I can.

its a 40 year old car, its allowed to have some parts replaced, who would wanna ride around with vw lowbacks these days?

not me, i like to be able to walk after arriving at my destination

To the top

.

Yea, nuthin wrong with lowbacks, im hoping to get a pair for my '71 S model..

OK no interest? What do you think it's worth?, the lady keeps calling me to find out if anyone is interested as she has already bought another car.

Thanks for the PM rust is well and truely on the "better" side , from what I can see it is very clean, it has lived at it's present location for about 5 years to my knowledge but I'll check to make sure, b4 that it was somewhere in Sydney, paint is original as best I can judge, has a few blemishes, the lady is a real stickler for maintenance as told me by the mechanic, I'm going to see her tomorrow so hopefully I'll have all the answers by tomorrow night.
Thanks

Hi Louis, thanks for the PM answers to your questions attached but will need to be confirmed


Is the price negotiable? I'm sure it is
If i commit prior to seeing it in the flesh am i going to get any suprises? No surprises here
Would she accept a deposit and i flew up in a few weeks time to get it? i would say yes
I have 2 weeks off from Sat 18th of Sept.
Is there any rust? A small amount

I am going out to see it again today and hopefully get answers to all questions on here tonight, thanks for the interest.

Sorry the old bat flattery syndrome, some as the buggy after standing without a start since trailering back from my effort to get to Valla

Went back to check the car this arvo, very small rust bubble showing near gutter on left side at rear about level with the bottom of the rear screen, a small rust bubble showing at the rear screen rubber bottom right, very small rust showing on drivers door skin front and rear corner nothing that I noticed by feel in the door frame, passenger door has no rust showing in the skin but I can feel a little in the bottom edge of the frame, no rust showing at the base of the door frames where they join the sills. Paint is original and has the usual blemishes as well as being polished almost through in a number of places (except for the newly painted front right guard) Rego due in October, has had a service in the last couple of weeks. Radio does not work and has small square speakers in the original door cards. Has had carpet replaced about 6/7 years ago including the area behind the back seat, back seat is original and in good nick, the lady thought the fronts were original as they were in it when she bought it, don't know what they are out of. Rust repairs done fairly recently to the floor at the jack point and a small section front passenger. Has a new battery. Drivers window winder mechanism has been replaced recently, the winder handle is new and does not match the original on the passenger door.
That's about it, just a good honest car that has been well maitained, the mechanic for the past 15 years has been Nymeyer Automotive at Belmont near Newcastle, probably the best place in Newie to get service and parts for your dub, but don't mention altering it from stock, their a bit straight ya know.

go on Donn buy it and make a BaJA

Mr Mezz, now that I am retired (yes I am this time) I have to save my pennies to keep the other little bitch on the road, no bajas here.
Though I am keeping an eye on it, told her if she's going to sell it cheap then sell it cheap to me.

have just been back from seeing the car

the owner is the nicest person you could ever meet

Ok, now that someone who knows what they are looking at has seen it what is the feeling for $ figure, is it worth buying at whatever $ (not me, I was out b4 it was advertised here) .

Cheers for the info avwboy, so it really is a 1300 pov pak

Id always heard rumours that the 70 1300 povpaks were single port but never seen one to confirm it

Its not the original decklid, you can even see the paint peeling off the numberplate light housing, woulda had a 2 vent jobbie originally but aside from that,
its getting pretty hard to find fairly original 1300 bugs now

back two the top

bump

Hi Donn,
I spoke to the owner and wanted to buy it just so i could come up and meet her.
She sounded brilliant.
What a trooper.
I have rung her again and said thanks but no thanks for a variety of reasons not the least of which is i'm in Tassie.
Thanks for your help too.
Regards
