The owner defaulted on paying for a repair and left the car. The finish is deplorable but the bodywork is good. A good paint job would restore it to acceptable condition. I don't know about the engine but old VW air cooled engines are a dime a dozen. I even have a Judson supercharger in my garage that I could give to the lucky buyer. It would boost the horsepower from a lowly 42 all the way to 56 or 60 depending on the pulley ratio. Use the car as a case for your IIIf Leica. Both are about the same age and speak the same language. Larry Z
