Give us some details and pics! CSi?
Yes. ‘72, manual with blue velours. A friend had it shipped over in 82-83 and it disappeared in 1989. Found it in conversation during a Christmas party 5 years ago and in November of 2018 I was able to locate the owner & negotiate the sale. So, after slumbering in a dark warehouse since 1996, she finally gets to the light of day today. I’m currently waiting on the flat bed to take her home to her siblings.

This is great. I work in Jackson often and if you would like any assistance with parts or direction for restoration I'd love to stop by and meet you.

Awesome!

Rare color for sure!

More pics more pics!

Is it factory Golf? That would be an oddball combo w/blue interior.

Yes, under the John Deere yellow, it’s Golf.

This one’s not happy though!
She doesn't like to share.
