Looks like it's in a primer or sealer. Little premature for a headliner

California sun-faded Golf repaint?  Looks like the paint on my Golf 74 after years of oxidation.

Noticing it has the trim on it, it would be odd not to be in paint

I may be wrong, but it looks to have Euro headlights-buckets.

Not everyday you see a cinder block holding the car cover down.

just called that shop.....the person who answered says the 'customer' is picking the car up tomorrow...that car got some upholstery work...imagine that

Unless it's a Euro model (or someone has done some swapping) it's a '68 or '69 since it has flat turn signal lenses.  I seem to recall a 1600 color that was a pale yellow--something ---gelb, and it came with a black interior.  Not Manila or Sahara.  So it might be a 1600...

 

Someone nearby--check it out and satisfy our curiosity.

It does look somewhat like Condorgelb, however, I think that was only available on the Cabrios and maybe early Targas.

Yes, but...it also has knee trim on the left fender (and 1974-76 styled steel rims).  It’s clearly been re-painted — no black-out paint on the hood/horn supports, while there is a “beige-like”/Nevada-ish color visible on the radiator support — so I won’t speculate on the original color.  I’m going to go out on a limb, however, and declare that’s it almost certainly a ‘66 to ‘73...?

New nose panel? Shipping braces are still there.
