| Probably going to have to sell my 51 llG croth cooler. Origional engine that runs, trans. and pan. Body has origional doors, front hood and engine lid, glass and an interior that needs a complete redo. Body needs floors,passenger heater channel, fenders and bumpers. I know kinda not a whole lotta info but trying to come up with a realistic advertising price. Don't see many projects for sale to compare so asking for some help. Thanks. Please don't flood the topic with offers. Hoping this helps others with the same question. |

this one?
http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/822431.jpg
missing orig. bumpers,16"rims,later front fenders,orig.taillights missing
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
since 3fold clips goes for 2-3000 and a car without sunroof /same condition costs about 4000...this car is an original 11G... I would say something about 8000$, a better car w/o the floor issues will maybe cost 10000$ Am I wrong? |

Agree with Kev, pics and more details are needed to even make a wild guess. Rust is a huge issue, I'd wager that if one heater channel is rusty, then they both are as are the doors, and lower front bulkhead. Not positive, but very likely. Until a body is media blasted you never know what you have (and that is a risk that every buyer has to be willing to take).
And as Kevin also says parts are a huge differentiators. Semaphores? Ribbed? Grooved? Date codes on them jive? Dash pods? Cracked, correct? Original engine? Does that mean from air cleaner to heater boxes? Jacketed K manifold? In this paragraph alone, you are talking about parts/details that can sway the value $4-$7k. _________________ John Henry

| Yes, the car pictured above. Do have two 16 inch wheels and the rust in the heater channels hasn't gotten into the lower A pillars. Unbelievably the inner front wheelwell area is very clean also. Thanks for your replies. |
