1977 (VW) Bianco S Project Car

Vehicle Description

ATTENTION VW ENTHUSIASTS! You will not find another one of these in the US for this price. I'm looking for a serious collector/restoration specialist to bring this beauty back to life. I imported this extremely rare, original 1977 Bianco S in 2017 when I returned from an overseas deployment to Brazil. I fell in love with this car and had to bring it home, but after 8 years, I have not gotten very far in the project and have decided to let another VW fan take over the project.For those not familiar with this car's origin, look up Toni Bianco on Google for an amazing story. Bianco launched his company in Brazil in the early 70's and produced 3 variations of the Bianco from 1976 to 1979 with the Bianco S being the most successful.Toni Bianco used the VW Fusca (Beetle) as a base for his cars equipped with the air-cooled 1600 cc boxer engine with twin carburetors making about 65 hp and the four-speed manual transaxle.Less than 400 cars were produced annually, which makes the number of survivors significantly less. I believe there are less than 10 of these in the US from my research, but it's hard to tell for sure.Now for the car, it is currently located in Idaho Falls, ID, but is titled and registered in Washington State with antique/collector's plate as a Bianco S Furia. I have the Brazilian title with chassis and matching engine number to confirm they are original. The car passed through customs running under its own power, but it needs a complete restoration. The engine had a light rebuild in Brazil prior to shipping to the US. There is some rust in the pan, but it was my intent to completely replace the pan and suspension, rebuild the engine and transaxle, replace all the interior and wiring, and restore the fiberglass body. The glass is in great shape with only one door glass missing. I have since partially disassembled the car to remove the body and is no longer in running condition. The pictures reflect its current state without the interior, but everything else is there.Please send me a message for additional information and pictures. Clean title in hand in my name.
