RARE in US! Brasilia 2-door Hatch, Clean California title, smog exempt!

1975 Volkswagen Brasilia

Selling my 1975 Volkswagen Brasilia two door hatchback with 90,274 kilometers (56,094 miles). The car runs and drives, and I have had this car for almost 3 years, having worked on small projects here and there to get it more road worthy, but with a new job that requires me to commute I need to make room in the one garage space for an electric/hybrid we're planning to buy.
Some items of note on the car:- This is a 1975 model year, the LAST year of smog exemption in California (it's clean titled and registered in CA) which is a huge benefit if you stay in-state.- The mechanicals are very similar to the Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Thing, Bus, etc. from the time period, sharing the same 1.6L flat air cooled engine. If you are handy on old VWs you shouldn't have a problem working on this.- Though it shares mechanical components, the Brasilia is VERY RARE in the US as it was never sold in this market. This was imported long ago, but you can still notice some upgrades like the 3rd brake light that were added to comply with US standards.

Overall the car could use some more project love but it turns over any time even after sitting for a few months. I've done an oil change and I cleaned some fuel lines last time I worked on it and had it running for a while, after some time the idle settles well. Paint is in overall good condition (the green was not original paint job, but very thorough), the glass is complete, and there is some light rust but nothing alarming for a car almost 50 years old. Like VWs of the time many parts are on the cheaper side, but it is generally complete with some extras stored under the back seat. If I were to keep it I would clean up some of the wiring (break lights, remove old speaker wiring), do some re-upholstery on the front seats (currently covered to protect), and update the door/trunk locks to all be on the same system - again small projects but they can add up.
If you want a REALLY rare manual, rear wheel drive Volkswagen that will turn heads the Brasilia is a great car - only a handful in the US but still easy to work on like old VWs. Most car people look at it funny andthink a Rabbit or Golf, but a few Brazilians have noticed with great excitement what the car is and how amazing it is to see one in the US.
