"An interesting and charming VW that draws positive reactions at every car meet."

Description

The car was built around 30 years ago by its current owner, who embraced the USA-inspired Cal Look style. The chassis comes from a ’63, the body from a ’53, and the engine is an unmodified 1300 unit from a later model year. Everything has been assembled in a highly professional and tasteful manner, featuring a Mexico-inspired black and red color scheme.

The car has seen only limited use and was off the road for nearly twenty years before being inspected in May 2025. The slightly lowered car, with newly refurbished brakes, passed the inspection without any remarks. Recently, the clutch assembly — including the pressure plate, release bearing, and seal — has been replaced, along with the gearbox seal and the pushrod tubes with their corresponding gaskets.

The electrical system has been converted to twelve volts but is equipped with a converter that provides six volts to the trafficators (also known as semaphores) and the wiper motor. Everything has been built to a professional standard by the owner, who is both a mechanic and an auto electrician. The entire car exudes a retro feel, reminiscent of the customized Volkswagens of the 1970s.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts very easily, with a well-functioning automatic choke, and all technical functions operate flawlessly. The sound system will be removed prior to sale. The gearbox and clutch are in excellent condition, as are the newly refurbished brakes. The trafficators (semaphores) work perfectly.

  • Interior condition:

    Clean and tidy interior with slightly more modern seats featuring high backrests. The steering wheel is original from ’53 and shows notable patina and wear. The headliner has been replaced, but the installation is somewhat imperfect — see photos.

  • Exterior condition:

    The thirty-year-old paintwork is still in good condition, and the body is straight and well-aligned, with proper door gaps. There are no noticeable dents or damage, although minor paint blemishes can be seen on the front fenders. The rear bumper is missing to accommodate the aftermarket exhaust system — see photos.

  • General condition:

    A very solid and well-built Volkswagen that runs smoothly and sounds great.

Owner's comment

The car has been standing still for many years but deserves to be back on the roads and at car meets again.

Facts about the model

The car has had only one owner since it was built nearly thirty years ago. Its entire history — from the start of the build to the completed project — is thoroughly documented with many photos, all of which will, of course, accompany the car to its next owner.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
