That is what I have currently for sale
It has american style swivel, captain chairs. No pop top, but a kinda cool
fake luggage rack that is the antenna for the built in TV in the back.
(missing) and has three sets of the US style dual-swivel lights. I talked to
my old time friend at my local VW dealer and he remembers selling it after
it sat for over 1 year in 1985. He said it was a tough sell with all those
goodies and no A/C.
I picked it up from the original owner who tossed the rest of the interior.
(why? :( ) It had a full rear seat on a stage about 3 inches tall for what
ever reason, two tables, and one or two more captain chairs.
