PS: None of the above have anything to do with me.

I knew that when I saw the seats in the first car.

The pictures in both ads are of the same car. It has the same marks around the end of the front bumper on the left side.
-
I noticed the same exact things in addition to the tag or marking under the door push button. On or both could be a scam.

Duh, didn't even notice when I found them on kijiji this afternoon. No idea what's up.

I didn't think they had "bubble-wrap" in 1969.
If they had, I am sure it would have fitted the A.C.B.C. criteria of "cheap, simple, and light".

Folks, I'm the person selling the above noted 69 Europa.
Long story short, I bought it in the fall (2018) and shortly afterwards a particular 914 which I've had my eyes on since the late 2000s came up for sale. I'm planning to carry forward with the 914.
The seller who I bought the Europa from mentioned an inquiry he received from the east coast, hence the reason for my ad in Halifax. I did make contact with the person but did not strike a deal.
The Europa sat stagnant in Bragg Creek Alberta since 1987 when purportedly the water pump failed. The person I bought it from, purchased it from the long time owner in Bragg Creek, sometime earlier this year.
Yes, the factory seats are missing (and belts) and whats in the car are some home brew seat frames with thick padded cushions.
To anyone local who is potentially interested the Europa remains active on the Alberta vehicle database.
Can't keep 'em all! I sure would like to though.
