Our friends have their Grandparents 1973 VW bug convertible, Wolfsburg edition for sale. It has 78,000 original miles. The family only used it for weekend drives, parades etc. They just did over $7,000 in repairs including new fuel tank, sending unit, fuel lines, tune up, new carburetor, added 4 new tires, alignment and more. Runs and drives great.
As any 50+ year old car there are small items like a knob on seat adjuster missing and small imperfections but overall in very solid shape. No rust that I can see. Email with questions
