What is this kit car? Looks like a lot of work, but it might be fun to build and it's pretty unusual. I need to see if there are parts available anywhere.
This is a CL special in Georgia. |

| Check Atlanta CL for description. Type in VW Rome. Worth his price? |

| Depends what the paint is hiding. Nothing like spraying everything including the steering wheel. Lazy ass.... |

 X2.
Not sure what the glass comes from so not sure how hard it is to come by. If the glass is easy to get it might be worth it. |

| Always wanted to make a Tera-Soar clone from one of these. At that price it would be a no-brainer. |

It would already be sitting in my driveway if it wasn't so far away. Good thing I didn't see that before the holiday weekend.
It's even in the version I like best with full windows and the recessed scoops though I'd probably shave the spoiler.
Damnit!

Windshield & back glass come from an AMC vehicle; a Marlin, IIRC. I don't recall the provider of side window glass.
I'd bet that this is same car... http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1511067

| I've just acquired this little Amante GT. Looking forward to bringing it back. It's an easier project that the 73 Bay Window I traded for it, so I'm stoked! |

I was working on it, just couldn't make it work. Even had a frined from Rome trying to help me with a pick up/ storage for a couple weeks.

| If I ever decide to sell it, it will reappear in the classifieds here first. I'm going to keep it with theSamba if at all possible. You can have first dibs on it should I lose interest. |
