Condition is very good considering the age. I was told the car was restored approximately 2-3 years ago. It was painted a very nice deep grey color however grey is not the original color. The original color was a orange/yellowish color. The car runs great, starts easy, and idles nice. The transmission and clutch are smooth. I was told a new battery and fuel pump were installed last year. Undercarriage is clean, straight and solid. The euro sport tires are in very good condition. Chrome bumpers show well. The convertible top is in good condition minus a couple patches. New rubber floor mats front and rear.
The bad : Missing head rests and front seat belts. Very small oil leak from engine compartment.
This is a one owner car. I bought this car from my neighbor who was the original owner. He is 96 years old and has become visually impaired hence the reason he sold me the car. He would have never sold me the car if he could still drive. I've had the car a month now and have since decided it's not my style hence the reason I'm selling it. Car will be sold with original clear Massachusetts title and bill of sale.
Shipping arrangements and fees will be the buyer's responsibility. I prefer someone come see the car in person, visually inspect it and make a deal.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact Pete @ 413-455-7001.
I've done my absolute best to describe this car. It is a very nice solid car that needs very little to be a nice daily driver. I can tell you the original owner loved this car and always maintained it. I would consider trades up or down for another classic car.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.
