Saw that one and almost went to look at it, but another popped up instead! Just picked mine up on CL too! Monday morning went to look at it, and grabbed it quick for a measely $2,000! All new running gear front to back!

It got even better after I got it home and realised it had the later disc brake conversion and 5 lug axle too, plus air shocks, HD front and rear swaybars, etc....

Believe me I sure know I am on this one! Had a guy chase me down yesterday and said he was on the phone with the seller while I was buying it. He offered me double what I paid if I'd sell it to him. I love this Burb, and I'm not selling!

Deenice21 · 03-04-2011, 10:49 AM

ill give you half of what you paid for it. Congrats

Wow is right...good buy. Engine looks clean too. Show us some interior pics.

Cool.. TT

I think that ochre one was at the last Portland swap meet. If it's the same one I saw, it's pretty nice. I didn't get under it or open the doors, but the hatch was open and no rust there. I saw the guy driving it to his stall- the truck had great presence and sounded good. Asking price was 8k last summer.

Nothing real special for interior. It's all the original carpets and back seat, but fronts are buckets from some donor that lay back flat. I replaced the missing side panels in the cargo area when I installed the new Stereo. Just some masonite with black naugahyde covering, and that's all. Clean, but not fancy. Carpets are in good condition, but medium blue, and stained a little. I'll probably replace them soon.
I went down today and got new rubber for her. Some 80k Hancook radials in 235/70/15. Also got my new heater controls today and installed them, plus a new sw. too.
Here's a few pics I have:

Awesome!

I think this ochre thread's been hijacked by the blue one. So... what part of town did the blue one come from?

1971BB427 · 03-11-2011, 10:25 AM

Funny you should ask; it came from your neighborhood! Carlton.

'71 Surf Wagon · 03-12-2011, 02:20 AM

I thought that might be the one I'd seen in Carlton.

Long drive for me to look at it, but it was worth the drive!
