Vehicle description
YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1972 VW KARMANN GHIN CONVERTIBLE THAT BELONGED TO MY FRIENDS EMPLOYEE THAT JUST MOVED BACK TO BELGIUM. AS HE LIVES IN ANTWERP HE CAN"T ECONOMICALLY OWN THIS CAR AS THEY CHARGE CITY FEES TO HAVE THE CAR THERE AND HE JUST DOESN"T NEED IT SO HE HAS ASKED ME TO SELL IT HERE FOR HIM
THIS IS WHAT I KNOW OF THE CAR.
HE HAD IT REPAINTED FROM YELLOW TO ORANGE . A COMPLETE COLOR CHANGE JOB INCLUDING THE DOOR JAMBS ETC. OTHER THAN A FEW SMALL CHIPS ,YOU"D NEVER KNOW IT WASN"T ORIGINALLY YELLOW. THE PAINT JOB IS REALLY NICE AND SHINEY. DOESN"T LOOK LIKE THAT IT THE PICTURES (DUE TO SUN GLARE) BUT IT IS. THIS IS A VERY NICE SHINEY PAINT JOB WITH A VERY NICE STRAIGHT BODY . IT DOES NEED DETAILING TO MAKE IT REALLY NICE AS IT HAD BEEN WAXED AND BUFFED AND SOME RESIDUE IS IN THE SEAMS AND AIR GRILL ON THE ENGINE LID. THAT WHITE RESIDUE FROM BUFFING THE CAR. IT IS VERY STRAIGHT AND SOLID AND WAS BEFORE HE HAD IT PAINTED. THE ONLY RUST I COULD FIND IN 1 SMALL HOLE , SHOWN IN A PICTURE , UNDER THE CAR ON THE INNER ROCKER PANEL. THE FLOORS LOOK ABSOLUTELY ORIGINAL AND SOLID . NEVER PATCHED. IT IS VERY NICE UNDER THE CAR.
1 PIECE OF BODY TRIM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS DAMAGED AS HE CAUGHT HIS PANTS ON IT AND PULLED IT LOOSE FROM THE BODY AND IT"S BENT. HE BENT IT BACK A PUT A PIECE OF TAPE ON IT.
THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION HAS RUST IN THE LOWER PART OF IT IN ONLY 1 PLACE AS SHOWN. I AM A BRITISH CAR GUY AND DON"T KNOW IF THIS IS BAD OR NOT. THIS IS THE ONLY 2 PLACES I COULD FIND THAT HAD RUST.
THE ENGINE RUNS REAL NICE , NO SMOKE AND STARTS RIGHT UP. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY THROUGH ALL 4 GEARS. THE ENGINE IS A BIT OILY ON THE BOTTOM SIDE BUT I THINK ALL THESE VW ENGINES ARE LIKE THAT. I KNOW BRITISH CARS ARE LEAKERS. THE BRAKES SEEN TO WORK WELL TOO. IT GOES DOWN THE ROAD REAL NICE.
HE HAD A NEW TOP INSTALLED AND IT LOOK LIKE A NICE JOB. THE INTERIOR IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE POCKET ON THE DRIVERS DOOR NEEDS REPAIR. HE HAD CAUGHT HIS FOOT ON IT A FEW TIMES AND IT JUST IS IN THE FLOPPED OPEN POSITION.
THE TIRES ARE VERY GOOD.
JUST A VERY NICE CLEAN CAR FOR THE MOST PART.
PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE THE END OF THE LISTING. I AM NOT TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
THE STARTING PRICE IS WELL LESS THAN WHAT IT"S BEEN VALUED AT (AND I SEE THEM SELLING FOR) AND WHAT HE HAS IN IT BUT HAS TO BE SOLD AS HE NO LONGER LIVES HERE IN THE STATES AND WILL NOT BE COMING BACK. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION. PLEASE DON"T BID IF YOU DON"T HAVE A WAY TO PAY OR THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT.
THE CAR IS LOCATED AT MY SHOP BRITISH RACING GREEN 30 ALEPH DRIVE NEWARK , DELAWARE 19702
A $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED WITHIN 3 DAYS OF THE END OF THE LISTING WITH THE BALANCE TO BE PAID IN CASH , CERTIFIED CHECK (THAT HAS TO CLEAR BEFORE THE CAR IS TAKEN) OR A BANK WIRE TRANSFER. THIS TOO MUST CLEAR BEFORE THE CAR IS TAKEN. I"D LIKE THE CAR TO BE PICKED UP WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THE END OF THE LISTING BUT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO WORK SOMETHING OUT IF NEED BE LONGER
