Yeah, I posted that in splitsville. Thats not a bad price for a 50 standard. Lots of good parts. If I had the room, that auction would have been over.

I have been working on a 54 right hand drive for about 5 years now, finding all of the right parts has cost me some money. Having all of the parts to start off with would have been great.

The reserve will be met, the buy it now will disappear and it will go for over $8k. Happens all the time.

Kevin... not at Terryville?

If I had the cash that car would be mine! It seems like I'm either too poor or I can't find the car. This one will probably haunt me for a while. But is it really a standard, not a deluxe? I see chrome moldings (though the seller says somebody added them).

I am 100% sure its a standard. The headliner is missing around the rear windows, most of the pod and bakelite is black, and it has mechanical brakes. The car has a bumper mounted horn too. Definately a standard.

Any of course, the three spoke steering wheel.

Not this year. Didn't feel like making the drive with the convertible this time.

ah yes, now that I looked at the other pics I see what you mean. Now I'm even more bummed :evil: Despite the plain look, in my opinion standards are the perfect representaion of what the volkswagon was all about. A standard split would be my dream car :cry:

Sun Aug 21, 2005 1:20 pm

I agree. A standard is definately going to be my next project.

Sun Aug 21, 2005 3:29 pm

i should get this one, only a 30 minute drive for me here in O-town. garage space is the problem. hmmmmmm....what to do. would be nice to have a standard next to the deluxe.

Sun Aug 21, 2005 3:42 pm

30 min... damn. Talk to the bank! 8)

Sun Aug 21, 2005 4:09 pm

Yeah, no shit Hiram. That would be a nice score for the money.

I'd love to have a go at that car, but I've got my hands full as it is.
