Hey gang,

The guy who was trying to buy my right-hand drive single cab backed out of the deal. I can wait anymore so I buddy or mine put it up on ebay for me. There are some decent PICS in there in case you are interested. Please send inquiries to Seller as I will not be checking email for a week after tonight.

I am asking about $1,000 less than I have into the vehicle to unload it quickly. On my latest count, I was up to 18 vehicles. That's way too many even for the most patient neighbor.

Anyway, the truck is a project. No ifs and buts about it. The carbureted engine runs like crap and was going to replaced. The body is a beat beat-up and needs lot of stuff as you can see in the PICS. No hole sin the bed but have a couple in the cargo area. Doors need work but they are easy to replace with regular van doors.

You double cab guys may be interested to know the tailgate and rear engine lid is the same as yours.

It has been titled as a 1957 Single Cab in California since it was imported around 1986 by the former owner. In heritage it is really a 1982 T25 Single cab from the UK. Originally a diesel. Now has an inline-4 from a Scirocco. Has a Weber carburetor which does not even have room for an aircleaner. Seems to run OK once it's going. But starting it is a PITA. The DPO (dreaded previous owner) installed a toggle switch instead of a thermostat.

So bid away if you are interested.

Thanks, BenT
