Is it at 78th and 49th?

Yes. Its been there for 15 years. Not a secret.

Never said it was a secret.

I am suprised no one has bought it to restore. It looked to be in decent shape.

From that picture it's got the wrong taillights, steering wheel is from a 56-57 oval and the end play is off .008. I'm no expert but that's all I can see.

:lol:

Download virtual earth. It seems to be way more current than google maps.

The car is parked outside at a VW shop in a busy neighborhood. The owner has pushed it out in the morning and back in at night for the past 20 years. If this sounds odd, it is. That fact that it sits out in public every day makes it fair game for discussion here.

Many people have attempted to buy it, but to my knowledge it's never been "officially" for sale. And having attempted to buy one of the owner's other cars that supposedly was for sale, I can understand why.

no one has bought it to restore because it already has an owner....

2true Thu Jul 03, 2008 10:16 am

They told me 10,000$ for it. (I laughed) Not everyday you see a split window in Florida in that shape......

A secret spot at a major location.....Right.....
