Very clean California Blue Plated VW Thing. This Thing has not been in salt or ice, nd has no rust like

Super clean running 2.0 Porsche 914 engine with dual carbs mated to the usual 4 speed. Beautiful exhaust system.
Car runs, rives, rakes, teers good! Fires up immediately and has abit of a Porsche rumble.
Valvesprofessionally adjusted last week on the 2.0, long with new push rod tube seals installed. Engine has two
oil coolers, ne which you see in the left rear of car in pics. Front seats and steering wheel arefrom a Porsche 924.
Seats, ront and back are like new. Have 4 side curtains here, hich are faded a bit but overall very nice, nd hard to find!
