Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this attractive 1972 Volkswagen
Type 3 Squareback. This VW was a long-term West-coast car; it was
sold new in San Mateo, and stayed in California for most of its
life before moving to Seattle and then Atlanta in 2015 with the
current owner. It was "freshened up" by the previous owner five
years ago with new interior, a quality repaint in the correct
Kansas Beige and new rubbers and seals throughout - no known rust
or accidents (floors are in excellent original and un-restored
condition). The 15-inch Dan Gurney stamped aluminum Victory wheels
are a nice period touch, along with the always-appropriate roof
basket.
All of the mechanical systems have been addressed with newer
shocks, ball joints, tune-up, battery, fuel pump, brake master and
lines, tires, pedal cluster, throttle linkage and control cables.
The original fuel injection has been replaced with reliable dual
Solex 32 PDSIT carbs (but original D-Jet components are included in
a box). This squareback had a recent engine reseal and all service
is up to date. Looks, runs and drives great and has a generally
unmolested and "put together" feel about it.
The Herbie livery always gets complements but is a vinyl applique
and could be removed if you are less sartorially adventurous. For
more information about this 1972 Volkswagen Squareback for sale at
Motorcar Studio in Atlanta, please call 404-692-5250.
