Ok here's something as seen on velocity channel 281 direct tv and while not a super beetle it's still an example of hackery they took a mostly original VW rlaced most of the German parts for Chinese and pimped the rest. The show unique rides will come on again next week. These are before and after pics. The after shows all kinds of poor workmanship issues. They shit canned a one year only fan shroud which brings hundreds of dollars for a Chinese one. See how many other hacks you can spot.

Don't waste his time with low ball offers: he knows what everything is worth and he's not gonna take one red penny less goddammit! Evil or Very Mad

I'm gonna make a prediction here: he's going to still own this rusty turd and all his parts and be paying for storage another 10 years from now.

If he's talking about Gary of Gary's Transmission, then that guy really is well known 'round these parts. He is a super awesome dude, probably won't be building German trannys much longer, and is known for his quality work.

However, you cannot expect to sell a built trans (or engine) for what you paid for it. Does not matter if you claim it has low miles- it's still used and nearly impossible to prove any kind of provenance.

This guy may have $3500 worth of VW parts, but if you're gonna sell the whole chunk you gotta expect to take a bigger hit. It'll still take the new owner a lot of time to turn that storage unit full of metal into cash.

Ok, this is a beautiful flat window Baja edition Super.

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1933884

BUT - the dash is wrong as it's from a '73 or later standard; the moon vents are after-market w/out the chrome; the chrome molding has been blanked; the shroud is some after-market Scat or Empi crap, and the air filter is an aftermarket POS.

$18K??? Sorry, only Jerry Seinfeld gets to sell his Bugs at anything over 10k.

Typically don't wander over to this forum, but this posting I saw today made me. Not whining about this. Actually thought it was pretty comical.
