Hey guys, My vw isn't anything special but I don't see any around anymore. Its a 76 passat wagon, its all original aside from the 1600 motor.

Back in the late '80s/early '90s two teachers at my high school had early Passats, but the coupes rather than the wagon. One in the same colour if orange too.

Yours looks very clean. Maybe I'll see it around Adelaide some time.

Not quite the same model, but check this thread on a Passat resto: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newforum/upload/showthread.php?t=24078

LOL I drove one of these when I was gopher at a crash repairer over twenty years ago. I thought it Ugly as sin but boy did it go and handle well. Every time I look for a new car I end up sneaking a peek to see if one of these are up for sale. Nice, very nice
