Hi I built this 1968 roadster and I'm kicking the idea around of maybe selling it to get a Karmen Ghia but I'm not sure on the value since it's not a normal bug anymore.
I've took the rear and chopped it off took the original hood split it and widened it to fit the rear and follow the body lines.

The front has been stretched 10 inches, added an adjustable beam, disc breaks front and rear, converted to Chey 5 lug bolt pattern, new master cylinder, new ball joints and tie rods, motor is a 1915cc. There will be new floor pans,smooth out rockers, and heavy duty transmission.

If you can please help me figure out a real world price I might list it as would help. Thanks

Value is hard to determine since it's custom which greatly limits the number of buyers.

Cool car - but yeah - expect a big hit. Test the waters on your local Craigslist or something. Shoot for $7K and see if you get any bites. You never know.

Not sure about the seat they came with the car.
