This 1974 Volkswagen SP2 is a rare find in the USA, even though Volkswagen built over 12,000 of them from 1972 to 1974. This one has rust and a rebuilt title after having some nose damage repaired. Even so, we’d love to see more of these on American roads. This one would offer cheap entry for someone with VW floor pan experience. Find it here on eBay in Texas with bidding at $2600 and on the seller’s website for $10,250. Special thanks to BaT reader Alan P. for this submission!

The SP2 coupe body is often agreed to be the best looking body ever wrapped around a VW flat-4. The Ghia guys like to argue that. We like these wheels and the factory stripe packages that came on these cars. There is rust in the fenders, but we are wondering how sound this car could be made with floorpans and the drivetrain restored. We;ve seen plenty of cars with worse bodies than this one complete the Melee and the Snowball rallies. Many defects are forgiven at 9000 ft and wide open throttle.

These cars have a very basic dash with a few VW cues. The dash pan and upholstery are shot, so this one needs pretty much everything.

The engine is also quite crusty. Matching numbers don’t really matter with these cars, so we’d find a suitable donor and swap the entire drivetrain.

We hope that this SP2 is made to run again. We wouldn’t mind seeing it in another factory color, but the most important thing is getting the underside back in shape before taking this one down the road. Who thinks they could have this one back on the road by Christmas?
