1964 VW 1500S VW Squareback med air ride - SOLGT

I’m moving back to the UK in August so the time has come for my Squareback to go to a new owner. I’ve owned it since 2007 when I bought it from Søren Rasmussen (Team Angora).

I’ll try and put as much detail and as many pictures as possible here, but if I miss something out please ask.

Car is nysynet so doesn’t need to go again until 2022. Built with air ride which is currently partly removed to pass syn, but will come with the car and is no more than a days work to refit - all the wiring/valves/hoses are still there, just needs the bags, beam and air cylinder refitting. I can help the buyer with this, if I get the right price.

Body/Exterior

• Approx 75% OG paint. Wings, bonnet and sills have been repainted.
• Free of rust in all the places that you usually find it in a Type 3 (inner rear wings etc)
• Recently had new sills/heater channels welded in.
• Floorpans have had a few small holes welded and are painted with POR15 (topside) and Swedish underseal (bottom)
• Front left wing currently has a patch of paint that is the wrong colour. I’ll get this corrected for the buyer, or knock the cost of getting it done off the purchase price.
• Flush fitting roof rack
• Bosch Spotlamp
• Towing hook

Interior:

• Red vinyl interior and red (painted) dash top to give Pigalle look. Seats are perfect, no rips and tears, left door handle has a small tear in the vinyl and right door card is a bit wrinkled.
• Push button dash in perfect condition
• Red needle gauges
• Flat4 GTV Wood rim steering wheel in dark wood
• Gene Berg shifter
• Autometer Monster tach to keep an eye on that 1500 ;)
• Inertia reel seatbelts mounted in front, with classic style chrome buckles

Engine/Transmission:

• Stock 1500S with twin carbs. New ignition system. Newish starter motor Standard exhaust with J tubes, so no heating.
• Stock gearbox
• Both gearbox and engine may be originals, so are perhaps a little worn, but still pulls and drives well, and doesn’t use/leak much oil.

Suspension:

• Currently fitted: Stock type 3 suspension lowered and fitted with KYB shocks (front) and Spax (rear). Notched spring plates.
• Air ride: Team Angora 5” narrowed single bag beam. 2 bags for rear. High quality valves with toggle switches, Viair gauges. Air cylinder and small compressor for back up. Air ride allows the car to lay frame on full drop and 3 wheel if you like to pretend you’re Snoop Dogg (I do).

Brakes:

• New master cylinder (dual circuit). New wheel cylinders. New brake shoes in front drums.
• Air beam is fitted with CB Performance Disc brake conversion (5x205 bolt pattern)

Wheels:

• 7x17” Escras - have a few faults in the lacquer but nothing that a good polish wouldn’t sort out. Shod with Pirelli PZero tyres.

SOLD

NO SWAPS PLEASE!! Unless you’ve got a really cool early bay with plates on.

Thanks for the kind words Erik and for spreading the word :)
