vwhalfabrain..
Would it look better to you if I did a cheap dull red paint job and threw on some garbage brm rims ??
I do own quite a few cars/parts and have had this oval ragtop for 20 years now.
To make it simple for you, im in no rush to sell but everything has a price. |

Wow! Nice post.  Maybe the market is different down there, but in this area, at that price, it would be good that you're in no rush to sell. Good luck with your sale. |

This burns me. Whoever is in charge of the listing should be beaten with a stick.

3/4 of the way down the photo showing the engine and rear apron reads:
"Rear apron looks to have been changed at some point."
No??? Really? What gave you that idea?

My main concern would be the welded VIN area on the pan.
Is a broker liable for being part in selling a vehicle that later comes up stolen?
IMO its more of a "sum of the parts" deal and since there are only cheap parts on the car its not worth much.

They never look right sitting on an IRS pan!
That taillight position, 60-63 interior, cheap bumpers, peanut signals…..HACKED!!
It'll make a "cute" driver for someone at 10K
