This is a rare car that you don't see every day. I've seen numerous Squarebacks and Notchbacks in the type III category but I have never seen a Fastback. Although it still needs some work to be complete, it is a cute care that always catches the eye as you drive by.
The interior is probably the biggest challenge for this car. The seats need redone, the weatherstripping needs replaced, and the electronics in the dash need to be rewired. On the exterior the car probably needs new tires along with an alignment. The windshield has a crack in it. The paint needs some touch up points; there are a few dings in the paint, mainly a big spot on the drivers side door which is showing surface rust. There is a picture of it down below.
Like I said this is a custom car, the door handles have been shaved off. This means that there is a small button on the doors which pop the doors open and the trunk and hood have a button also. The original drum brakes have been upgraded to disc brakes and the front end has been lowered 2-3 inches. The biggest thing about this car is it has a brand new engine with only 1000 miles on it. I was told by a mechanic that it is an air-cooled 1800cc engine.
I bought this car in hopes of fixing it up and making a daily driver of it. But being a college student, it's hard to find the time to take on this project. When I have driven it though through town or down the highway, I always get looks, and somebody always wants to ask me about the car. The main question I get is 'What kind of car is that?' because this car is a classic that people haven't seen in over 30 years. Enjoy bidding and if you have any questions feel free to e-mail me.

VW close to decision on selling Bugatti to Rimac
Sun, Feb 21 2021FRANKFURT — Electric hypercar maker Rimac Automobili and Volkswagen's supercar brand Bugatti are a good technological fit, Porsche's CEO told German weekly Automobilwoche, fueling hopes that a deal between the two could happen soon. British automotive magazine Car last year reported that Volkswagen was on the verge of selling Bugatti to Rimac Automobili, citing sources. In exchange, Porsche, also owned by Volkswagen, would raise the 15.5% stake it owns in Rimac, founded by Croatian entrepreneur Mate Rimac, Car said. "At the moment there are intense deliberations on how Bugatti can be developed in the best possible way. Rimac could play a role here because the brands are a good technological fit," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said. "There are various scenarios with different structures. I believe that the issue will be decided by the group in the first half of the year," said Blume, who also sits on the management board of parent Volkswagen. Rimac has developed an electric supercar platform, which he supplies to other carmakers, including Pininfarina. Blume also confirmed higher savings targets for Porsche, saying the carmaker plans to support results by 10 billion euros ($12.1 billion) of cost cuts by 2025, up from 6 billion previously.

But we don't want to give anything away just yet. Scroll down to have a look at our team's favorites from Geneva.
VW CEO Winterkorn issues video apology for diesel scandal
Tue, Sep 22 2015Amid rumors that he might step down from the automaker, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn has issued a video statement publicly apologizing for the company's diesel emissions scandal. The boss claims that he doesn't have the answers to all of the questions yet but promises a thorough investigation to makes things right. Multiple times in the speech, he asks forgiveness from customers all over the world and asks people not to blame all of the company's 600,000 employees for this lapse. At no point does Winterkorn mention resigning, though. You can watch the whole clip above, but it's in German, so turn on the subtitles. However, Winterkorn's future with VW isn't assured, and works council boss Bernd Osterloh appears ready to make some changes. "I can assure you that we will do everything possible in the supervisory board meetings this week to ensure the matter is cleared up quickly and that personnel consequences are drawn. And that will not just affect the rank and file, I can assure you," he said in a letter to Bild, according to Reuters. Earlier today, the automaker admitted that the same engine management software is in vehicles from other VW group brands, but it claims that the Type EA 189 engine is the only one with a deviation between test results and real-world numbers. That mill is installed in 11 million vehicles across the globe. As a start, VW is earmarking 6.5 billion euros ($7.3 billion at current rates) to service them. The actual costs could go much higher, though.
