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.

Buyer must have been playing Barratt-Jackson at home while bidding, 8 cocktails in and the bidding was over.

This guy is crazy on everything, I'm surprised he ever sells anything at all

It used to be $100 so I wonder if he's playing some sort of game with this part?

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.

"Friend I bought it from cut rust out of the rusty parts of rockers and used POR15 and riveted in plastic."

Sounds like a thorough resto. Laughing

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!
