Ingo, I have been meaning to ask you was the K70 ever officially sold in the US? I didn't think so but Wikipedia says they were sold in North America from 1968-1973... I know I have never seen one!

on a side note I just got my second ever VW today (I used to have a 95 Passat GLS which was not such a good car) but today my neighbor was moving and asked me if I wanted his 1982 Rabbit Pickup. It is a diesel and has a 5-speed gearbox (it needs an engine but the body is Mint and he just gave it to me!!)
