$475 to $650 is the going range I've seen in the last year. I wish I still had the one in the second pic. Anything more is setting new market prices for true NOS ones. Still have the blaupunkt though.  
I only see maybe one in 100 that may be wanting to spend the cash for real true nos parts. That number goes down yearly as it seems the rusty, lowered $hit boxes are outnumbering the restored ones by a lot at any show or gathering. Everyone wants the good stuff, but not at crack pricing - on occasion.

Agree, maybe with the NOS horns too but even that seems high to me |
Seller always has very cool stuff at crack prices.

That reminds me a lot of my 66 that I had back in 83-86. Like Ev pointed out mine didn't have the euro marker lights.

My whine is that it’s not next to my squareback.

My whine is that it is such a nice looking and well preserved car, yet it has a type 1 generator and type 1 fuel pump. The purist in me is showing..

I missed the generator but I admit the fuel pump and fuel line routing bugged me too.

It didn't really bother me, but then I'm in an area where finding good parts is hard enough, let alone correct type 3 parts. I'm not too crazy about how the fuel pump is plumbed, but that's an easy fix. Finding a correct type 3 12 volt generator might be tougher in Italy. Especially since it's a 12 volt conversion car (was supposed to be a 6 volt car). Not everyone has an ISP West right around the corner.
