75 SP2    Back to Members Cars

Owner:

Vince Petrie

Arroyo Grande, CA

It's a 1975 VW SP2 made in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  One of approximately 10,000 made between 1972-1976.  

All steel body with 1.7 Liter Type 3, dual carbs, pancake engine, swing-axle tranny and Type 1 front axle beam.  

I bought it in 1993 in Mill Valley, CA.  It was very rusty and neglected.  Spent about 3 years on a body off amateur restoration.  

I always planned to drive it regularly so didn't try to make it perfect.  It's a rare VW, but easy to maintain and a blast to drive.
