Roundie for $3500

I just spotted this on Atlanta Craigslist and thought it seemed like a fair deal worth posting here.

NOT MINE / NO AFFILIATION

Wow! Looks very complete and original. Those rear wheel housings look great!

 

”Eared” headrests, so probably manufactured January 1, 1973 or later.

 

Regards,

If that were local to me it’d already be on my trailer.... -KB

Agree. And Baikal is even better.

I’m 2nd in line for it, likely 10min too late, but we’ll see.

I hope that if someone on here ends up picking this car up they start a thread documenting the resto for my enjoyment [emoji6].

Hey guys, so I was the first one to go look at it.  The seller is willing to wait for my deposit until later today.  Brakes and clutch are seized, and the gearbox feels very mushy.  Little to no rust underneath, save for the classic wheel well spots and what looked like a rusty pedal box.  He's not willing to negotiate.  My plans wouldn't be for a full restoration, but to get it running and driving well for the next buyer to enjoy.  I'd like to make some money, and learn more about these cars in the process.  Thoughts anyone?  I already have one 2002 - this one is more of a money maker and learning car for me. 

Also, VWJake, you aren't allowed to comment

 

Here's some more brief photos.  Engine bay isn't the worst but certainly not the best.

just goes to show there are still realistically priced deals on these out there. Not in CA of course cause everyone here thinks these things are worth their weight in gold. 

Get it running clean it up, likely worth 2 to 3 times what you paid if it's not rusted out.

Are you sure? 

 

I was was thinking artikblau

In my opinion/experience: If that engine needs to come apart in order to get it running, it may be difficult to achieve the “money maker” (of substance) goal with looming resurrection of engine, transmission, brakes, hydraulics, etc. 

 

That said, you will certainly learn more about the cars, and that’s a winner. Whoever buys it, enjoy. -KB

Seller says it's sold.  I messaged him earlier and passed on it.  Just don't have the time to put the work into it deserves.  I'll stick with working on mine for now.
