The car was purchased from a VW enthusiast who bought it from the estate of the original owner. The car had been well cared for and came with all the maintenance records dating back to the original dealer checkup at 300 miles. The all original condition was just what I wanted so I could update the car without redoing someone elses work.

Background
When I got interested in Type 4's several years ago, I liked the Coupe model, but knew it would be difficult to find a good one. I bought a project Variant instead and began restoring and modifying the suspension and brakes. The project Variant was parted out when a driver Variant in great shape was found shown here. The driver was a nice car, but the automatic was a bit lacking in the acceleration department. This kept me looking for other options via TheSamba.com classifieds . In August, 2007, I purchased this 1973 VW 412 2-door coupe.The car was purchased from a VW enthusiast who bought it from the estate of the original owner. The car had been well cared for and came with all the maintenance records dating back to the original dealer checkup at 300 miles.
