"Complete and good car with some paint touch ups and partly repainted, some rust around the lower body, and a dent on the right wing. Jack brackets on both sides are missing/removed, and rust holes must be repaired (see pictures)."

Description

Introduced and marketed to active rally drivers as a single-type class only in 1973. Around 100 Cup cars with the distinctive pihl green color were ordered ready-made by Volkswagen's Swedish importer. On presentation of a racing license, the cars were sold. The model had a front air intake that could be used for an oil cooler, among other items. On this model, the map reader lamp on the passenger side was also ordinary. Two rally spotlights are also present in the front.

Since new, the car has only had three owners and has spent most of its time in Kil (near Karlstad). Except for the replacement of a front wing and spring leg tower, it is unrenovated. Several paint enhancements can be found around the lower bodywork. The engine is fine, but it does leak a few drops of oil onto the garage floor. Overall, we can say that the car is in good working order but could use some work to make it really nice. The car has 78,000 kilometers on it, but it could have gone 178,000 kilometers. but it appears to be the original 78,000 km

Unsure if it was driven in a rally? Only a few of the original "cup cars" beetles are still alive today, but several replicas have been built over the years.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Everything works as it should, with the exception of the automatic chock, which must be "activated" manually when cold starting the engine. The engine has a minor oil leak. Mechanically, the car is in good condition. Good wheels. The front spring leg tower has been repaired previously.

  • Interior condition:

    The windows, headliner, and door cards are all in good shape. With normal wear and tear, the rubber mat on the floor is okay. The instrument panel is operational. The spare wheel is ok condition. With seat cover on the drivers' seats, the upholstery looks good.

  • Exterior condition:

    The right wheel housing has minor rust damage (see attached picture)
    The inner side beam frame, to which the jack brackets are attached, is rusted. Otherwise, some areas of the bodywork have been improved. The tailgate and left front wing have been repainted. There could be more that have been repainted without the current owner's knowledge. Rubber seals and chrome are ok.

  • General condition:

    A car that is in good working order, looks good, is ready to drive, and has been inspected/MOT until 2021-09-30. It's a relatively untouched car that every VW collector should own.
