Hi folks,
I'm moving to a type II and I've just ran out of room...
I have a 64 baja that I've owned for 5 years or so (I've never had it offroad) and am looking for an VW enthusiast to purchase. The purchaser would have to be relatively local (Longmont, Colorado) and, if someone from the board wants it, I will give them a good deal.
When I bought the baja, it has been a baja most of its life I would guess, it was rough. Still is kinda rough but is a running/driving/stopping vehicle. The engine is the standard 1600dp (longblock from Painters Grinding in Denver) with I would guess less than 10k on the motor (but, all motors were recently rebuilt are'nt they?). The purchaser can decide for themselves by listening to it run and/or compression check (you can use my tester), etc. Carb, starter, generator (12v motor) were all relatively new and work fine, distributor is an SVDA from John C (as were most of the parts). Newish shocks (kyb gas, kinda stiff but I like it that way...), spindles, tie rods things like that were new a couple years ago with little drive time. Has daily driver reliability and goes where you point it but does have issues... Lights, wipers, ignition all work well but there is no warning light/temp gauge hooked up... there are several gauges in the "custom" dash that work but are not hooked up... speedometer is hooked up. The transmission shifts fine annd doesn't pop out of gear but the shifter bushings need to be replaced... twos sets of rims/tires: wide 5, wide 5 set of 14" off a thing... one piece windows and all glass is good. Interior is "functional": no backseat, bench over battery/storage area; from seats are from a sirocco (sp?) a 1977 I think, has a full roll bar. Pans are typical for a car of this vintage... if you're interested you'll just have to see for yourself. Again, I am in Longmont, Colorado.... can look/drive most anytime (email me and I can give location, etc.). Max, you could pop up from the Springs and drive her home... looks similar to yours but mine is white. Someone from the board in a bang/bang deal (does have a clean CO title) and we're looking at $6-700.
Regrads, Jon
