And again; really???
Wrong category, overpriced, etc....


Perhaps they think if they lay it over on its side and photograph it, it must be for a 25-36hp therefore worth more?

You can report it for being in the wrong section. Then Ev will move it.
Just like I just did. Soon it will be in the right section.

I don't know... with prices for good glove box doors ranging from as low as $15 and up on here, am I the only one that thinks this rusty version is actually worth less due to the 'folk art'?

If you need more info on this one, look in the marine section of your VDO catalogs. It is for a boat.

I sold the one I had for $200.00 plus shipping. I put brand new guts in it and it was in decent cosmetic condition.

It can be easily welded and ground down.

Good point but IMHO it should be sold with a "trash" price.

Exactly. Anything can be repaired. But at that price, it should either be in very good shape, or already repaired.

Bullshit.


Thought the price had been reduced, but apparently I was wrong. I could have sworn I saw an ad with this heap priced at $10,595 or something.

It'd take the asking price in parts alone to fix this abomination.

Lol... I'm headed over to K. Falls to visit family. Halfway tempted to go look at it, though I've seen the car before. I remember seeing it for sale in the summer of 2001 elsewhere in town.

The biggest WTF for me are the molded in/welded on fenders...ugh. Rolling Eyes

$4K is way too steep for a car with this kind of quarter panel rot, IMO.
