1980 Volkswagen Other Additional Info:
Up for Consideration is my 1980 VW Brasilia. This is a rare air cooled example especially in a 4 door of a Volkswagen that was never offered in the US. I've owned this VW for a little over a year and purchased it from the second owner who was an older lady who personally imported it from Brazil in the early 90's. Since owning it have invested over $9,500 in receipts for mechanical and cosmetic refreshes with period correct Brazilian VW parts. This is a 4 speed with a strong running air cooled 1600 with no leaks and approx 91km which equates to 57,00 miles. I have a ton of extra Brazilian parts for it and was planning on keep this fun VW for a long time but unfortunately I have more car's than garage spaces and my family members offsite storage option was recently sold so my loss is your gain. This Brasilia is a blast to drive and has been a hit at cars shows and even at air cooled events as its so rare. The only thing I know that it needs is the speedometer cluster fixed as the speedo is intermittent. I replaced the speedo cable and it didn't correct the problem but it didn't bother me much because its in kilometers. Below is a synopsis of what has been done in the past year.
I will not ship this internationally but will work with the buyers to ship this within the US at the buyers expense. Clear Arizona title in hand.
Below is a quick synopsis of whats been done and there's probably a few things I'm missing.
MechanicalNew Carburetor, plugs, wires, coil, ignition system, fuel lines, rebuilt master cylinder along with all new brake calipers, pads, rotors, drums and brake lines. All of the fluids have been changed along with new motor and transmission mounts, linkage bushings, new front shocks, new exhaust system, new 17" Empi Fuchs wheels and tires.
Cosmetic- Had the paint computer matched and had area's touched up and then the car color sanded and paint corrected. New Taillights, license plate lens, Kenwood Bluetooth stereo with 2 JBL 6 1/2's in the front pods, new Brazilian period correct rubber floor, floor mats, NOS Cibie fog lights, new rear pillar vents and new Inner rear hatch hinge covers.
