I’ll start out by saying that the Brasilia is not the most beautiful Volkswagen product. It is not the most beautiful air-cooled product, either. In fact, we can go a few steps further and argue that it’s not even the most beautiful product from Volkswagen do Brazil, but a factor of at least two – since the SP2 and Karmann Ghia TC have that market pretty firmly cornered. But all three of these Brazilian creations share one thing in common, besides being air-cooled and produced in South America – they’re über rare in the states. Today a clean Brasilia has popped up on eBay in Florida, and it was worth a look:

This one certainly has some neat details; though I’ve previously professed my hatred of replica BBSs, it’s hard to argue that they don’t add some flair to this example. The car is clean and well presented from what’s shown, though a more complete set of photos with better staging would do wonders. Outside of that, there’s really just the price. $18,000 seems steep, but it’s also a lot cheaper than the last example of the Brasilia I looked at. It’s also not unreasonable in the realm of clean air-cooled VWs. Granted, as mentioned I don’t think this car is the prettiest classic VW, and it’s not the one I’d go for if I was itching to spend. But they are quite neat to see!

Maybe it’s the papaya color, but I love this car! This example is extraordinarily clean and…my…what a simple driving experience. Pure analog.
I am astounded that the gas tank is so exposed. Reminds me of Newman driving the USPS truck on Seinfeld when the front goes up in flames!
Note: Buy It Now has been reduced to $16,900.00.
basically like the US VW Squareback…but pretty cool…maybe at 12K
What an adorable little car! The gold wheels need to be a different color. That totally clashes with the yellow paint. Body color wold work. Nice to see a clean example like this.
