Sounds like he has the subbie motor up front & the VW in the rear.
I would think they are both manual trans, hence you can drive either
one.

Did you noticed the "anti-theft system"?
 
Looking at the interior - it doesn't sink in until you see the picture of the two sticks in place of the steering wheel. :lol:

For sale is my 1969 Opel Kadett B Caravan 2 door wagon. Its a great little car and I've had a lot of fun with it but its time to move on to some bigger things.

The car is a 1.1L, 4-speed manual with a single Solex Carb setup. It weighs around 1 ton and only has around 27xxx miles on it. Everything works, from the dome light and forever-ticking clock to the automatic wipers and heat. Starts every time, even in the extreme cold. The car is a nice period example, I still have the delivery notice including the original owners name/date delivered as well as some other literature. It does have new parts including:

- A refurbished transmission, with around 300 miles on it.
-new clutch/clutch cable.
-tires with around 1k miles on them.
-new battery
-newer headliner
-newer carpet

Other notable features:
-side pipes (added by a previous owner)
-rare roof mounted luggage rack
-comes with a window Gasket set, extra key blanks, and a transmission for parts.

With that said, there are a few odds & ends that could use tidying. Being in the rust belt, the car does have rust but nothing catastrophic. Its mostly on the rockers and rear hatch (which has been treated). the drivers seat is a little torn up but reupholstering it wouldn't be much hassle. Reverse lights do not work either.

Its by no means a fast vehicle, but its a ton of fun to drive and a joy to wrench on. If you're looking to getting into wrenching on old cars and don't have much experience, this is really is the perfect car for you. The car is certainly a head turner and you get all sorts of people asking about it. Pile some friends in and cruise woodward in obscure reliability. Cattle horns are included. I have the Title and it's clean. I'd just like to see the car go to someone who appreciates it. Don't really want to sell it but I just have too many projects at the moment.

Who knows maybe you swap in a Honda motor, cage it out and make it into the one of the coolest vintage rally/race cars ever.

$3200 o.b.o.
