THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 1972 IN MEMPHIS TENN. IT WAS DRIVEN UNTIL 1978 WHEN MY FATHER LEFT TO GO OVERSEES. IT WAS KEPT IN STORAGE UNTIL 2006 AT WHICH TIME IT WAS BROUGHT OUT OF STORAGE BY MY FATHER. THE ORIGINAL FUEL INJECT SYSTEM WAS IN BAD SHAPE, TIME ON RUBBER FUEL LINES AND INJECTORS WERE NOT THE BEST OF FRIENDS. REAL AIR COOLED VW MECHANICS ARE A THING OF THE PAST, SO DAD ATTEMPTED TO US ONE OF THE LOCAL MECHANICS, AND THAT DIDN'T GO SO WELL. THE LOCAL MECHANIC CHANGED THE SYSTEM TO CARBS AND SETTING UP THE CARBS AND TO SYNCHRONIZE THEM IS AN ART, WHICH WAS LACKING IN THE GUY THAT ATTEMPTED IT.
THE INSIDE OF THE CAR DIDN'T FAIR AS BAD AS THE FUEL SYSTEM, BUT VINYL SEATS ARE A LITTLE ROUGH, MEANING DISCOLOR SLIGHTLY, BUT OVERALL THEY ARE NOT IN BAD SHAPE FOR A CAR THAT IS 50 YEARS OLD
