Description of 1975 Volkswagen Rabbit

Up for auction is a early base model 75 Rabbit with 40. 88 original miles Build date: 12/74 I purchased the car approximately 3 years ago as a "barn find" and have replaced the basic maintenance bits such as. -Timing belt & tensioner -Plugs. NOS wires. dist cap & ignition rotor -NOS master cylinder. NOS front & rear wheel cylinders and front brake shoes -Rebuilt Carburetor -New correct 145R13 Tires -Cleaned Fuel tank & installed NOS fuel sending unit -Filters. fluids etc In result the car runs and drives down the road well. The car is all original minus the original bumpers & wheels have been refurbished. This early Rabbit has NO options. NO radio. NO A/C. NO CIG lighter. rubber floor mats. front drum brakes. NO door sill plates. NO door (vent) window defrosters. blank door panels and no rear window defroster (clear glass). This is the most basic model I've personally ever come across. This car has a lot of different oddities. It also has beautiful original VW NOS houndstooth seat fabric on the front seats. Absolutely ZERO rot on or around the strut towers. The original rare Delftblau paint shows very well but there is patina as to be expected for a 40 year old vehicle. From what I've read and experienced that the dealers back when put foam in the bracing under the hood to keep vibration noise down but unfortunately it rotted the hood. I have gotten quotes on repairing it but decided against it because of the originality of the car. The rear seat obviously needs to be recovered. I personally didn't want to simply get something made up for it and decided to wait for a NOS cover which I haven't found. The new owner can decide on what to do there.
