and I want to show you that this one is all angel!!

The cleanliness of the car in the corners is simply fantastic.
Carpet is not the original, but looks very nice.
Just to be the picky bastard that I am...if it were mine I would install the original German wool carpets

The car is totally solid.

Here you can see a couple slight scuffs on the leading edge of the fender...it is not "perfect" paint

Here are a couple "postcard shots" for you...
Doesnt it look fresh off the showroom?
If you look super close in spots you can see some paint flaws.
It appears that during it's history it was covered for a period of time and
there are spots in the paint where you can see the very slight imprint of the weave of the material.
The light has to hit it just right...but it is there.
Check out the owners manual and original documents included.
The story of the car is below...
This car was purchased from the original family by the current owner on 2-5-2011 with 69,852 original miles on it.
The original owners Alfred & Grace Conner purchased this car new on 3-22-1969 at Munson Volkswagen Inc. in Bozeman, Montana.
Grace drove the car as a cook & tender for a large ranch and often had the car parked during the long winters and while working for a week at a time, cooking for a crew of 12-15 Men.
This car was stored under a tarp for many of it’s 42 years, hence the canvas textured paint surface where the tarp was under the weight of snow
& the small dents and dings on the body were cause by farm implements banging against it etc.
Alfred passed away many years ago and Grace owned the car until she was 93 years old, she passed away 12 years ago.
The car was then inherited by their son Floyd.
It is just a great car...totally stock, very well preserved while being tastefully brought back to operating condition with a rebuilt engine and a few replaced soft bits.
I think you would have a hard time finding a better example out there than this one.
Its a sweetheart and a testament to its first owner Grace, and her care for the car
as well as the current owner's revival and preservation efforts.
Great car!
SOLD!
