These signs, like most VW signs were supposed to be destroyed by the dealerships taking them down.
Fortunately for us some parts/maintenace guys never did what they were supposed to do.

I'd also love a large VW sign.
Anyone selling or have any leads?  |
Hey Pasn8 ,
Not sure where your at , but there's a estate sale this coming Saturday in Concord , Ca . About an hour away for me , I will be attending . They have two . I want to pay $300-$400 for one . I've asked to see how much the large rounds ones are but still havent gotten an answer .
Anything over $400 , I'm out . But let me know what your thinking and maybe purchase both at a lower price for both .

I have this light sign, its dubbelsided(same on both sides) and about 80x80cm.
I also have the front of a larger sign, just the front, not with the lights.
I can take a photo if it if someone are interersted. I tried today, but that photo was even worse than the photo above

I have this sign double sided what's it worth? |
So I just bought this same sign.. What kind of backlight did you set up? Any pics of that by chance? I'll be hanging mine in the garage since the wife won't let me put it on the living room wall.  |

I bought this 6' sign (1 of 2 sides with the can) from a good friend and took a couple years coming up with the right game plan of installing it in my equipment barn. I used just the "lens" and liberated the first 3 inches of the old back can as a support ring (where the old T-40s and ballasts were mounted). I backlit it using LED under-cabinet strips in combinations of 2' and 3' strips. I've had Stix the Chicken waiting around too- as he has always wanted to perch atop the lollipop for a full view of the barn. He was originally neon on the front of a short-lived local restaurant. I don't know if he as a mascot had a different name, but he spelled out Stix in the dust so I assumed it was his name. A dedicated breaker in the service panel ensures the long life of this getup.
