The body was reportedly refinished in Lotus White under previous ownership. Features include chrome bumpers and polished mirrors, trim, and exhaust outlets. The seller notes that the windshield was replaced during previous ownership.
Factory 15″ steel wheels are finished in black with white lips and wear polished VW-logo hubcaps. 165/80 Nexen SB-802 tires are mounted at all four corners, and a spare wheel with an older Continental whitewall tire is mounted in the front trunk.
The cabin is equipped with black vinyl buckets seats and a matching rear bench, door cards, and floor coverings. Interior details include a full-width wicker parcel tray and a Sapphire AM radio.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a polished horn ring and frames a 90-mph speedometer with an inset fuel gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 64k miles.
The 1.5-liter flat-four was factory rated at 53 horsepower and 78 lb-ft of torque. Recent service is said to have included changing the oil, and replacing the spark plugs, distributor cap, rotor, and ignition points.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
