GPW 270278
I saved this GPW from someone trying to make a daily driver out of it. It has most of the original equipment, little body rust and covers that go on the distributor, coil, and spark plugs. I was told this may be a supression kit for the ignition. I am restoring it as much as possible while still driving it on and off-road.
