Seller’s Description: This classic car was purchased in Germany in 1986 while we were in the Air Force. It was noted at the time that it was owned by a German bishop prior to our purchase (note curtains in the rear window). We shipped the car to the U.S. in 1988 and did minimum conversion from the German specs to be allowed for use in the U.S. We drove the car until 1996 when a job change and relocation caused us to park it in a family barn; it has not been driven since then. I’d love to rebuild it but lack the time and resources at this time. It needs minor body work and the interior needs a thorough cleaning. This car is waiting for the right owner to rejuvenate it to its previous glory days. Sold “as-is” and we’ll assist you in taking it away to its new home.

The odometer still reads in kilometers: 220,964 km (137,301 miles)
