Agreed. Very solid car and perfect restoration candidate, but to me that’s about $10k below the restored price and about $15k over the project price. _________________ Go Reds! Smash state!

Maybe but maybe not.
It's been reported if he gets too many inquiries on a part he will decide he priced it too low and raise it up. _________________ How to Post Photos

The seller is dreaming if he thinks it is worth much of anything. At least he's honest! _________________ Marc

This is a CLASSIC example of a T U R D ! I dont think in my many years of VW I have seen such a wasted example, why the paint job alone must have taken all of 15 minutes. And the dog alone is about twice the size it should be. Turn his ass in to the SPCA! |
