Reminds me of nailing a goose's feet to a board to fatten it up before Christmas dinner.

Uuuuh hard to say. It could be, still green grass on the ground, and looks to be a rolling hills area. Can't make out the tags of the car in the background but with that style house and spotting the rocks in the drive way, maybe Charlotte or Piedmont NC area???
Never saw the previous add, what was up with it? |

Thanks, I guess it's ok as no one has reported it and it's been up for a while.
There was no previous ad that I know of - I was asking if anyone had seen these photos used before, meaning a scammer stole the photo(s) to make a fake ad.

Two types of people in the VW scene. Genuine VW people and guys who think they can make a quick profit.

But all it needs is a windshield! That's the only thing keeping it "not ready to drive."

1972 1600cc single port - $200 (Lake Villa)
i have a 1972 vw 1600cc single port motor. its currently locked up but the case is good and i have alot of extra parts for it. lowest ill go is 200 becuase i bought it for more and got screwed so im trying to help someone else now by selling it for cheaper. it ran 2 years ago but sat in a shed for the last 2 years and locked up the pistons, cranks good and internals just the pistons sealed to the cylinders. call or text with any questions.

Looks like it was dropped off the bench a few times. 
Just weld that chunk back into the head, hammer the crank pulley back to flat, and replace the pistons and you're good to go!
