This little blue beauty is located in Illinois
It is a very clean and solid example that has been nicely restored.
The current owner bout it in 1997 from the original owner
and he started the restoration in 2001.
The car was pulled apart to the shell, and painted inside and out.
Top quality parts were used in the restoration, the vast majority from Wolfsburg West.
Very stock and proper in all respects.
The condition is excellent and the owner has a very complete accounting of all the work
that has been done to the car under his ownership.
Fenders were removed during restoration, new fender beading installed.
Chrome is very good, the car has been well stored and cared for.
The only non-stock item visable from outside are the larger diameter tail pipes that come out the factory holes.

The chassis is very solid and un-restored.

Many original receipts and records included.
In closing this really looks like a jewel of a car, and being located in Illinois is a bit of a rarity for a car this nice.
I love the known history of the car and the owner's attention to detail and use of quality parts in the restoration.
With all this in mind the car seems like one heck of a bargain at the asking price!
