I think I actually posted this one from CL earlier? If not, I guess there are two heaps of shit floating around this area that people think are gold? I should contact the guy and ask him if he missed a decimal point..

I want to know what a "twin eye beam" is. Also, it should be illegal to paint a car yellow, especially Vw's. |

Some yellow VWs are nice. I like Yukon yellow.

Does say in the ad that the original motor is available.
Honestly I like the color. Was a time when I had my first one in the late 80's that my repaint was going to be a toss up between this or red.
Is it me or have the picture changed?

Yukon yellow is actually the only yellow I do like. |

No kidding. Talk about a big bore 40- but it likely is at least stale air. 
I think he combined cal-look; resto-mod, and vintage accessoried cars together and figures his ride is worth the price of all three. That chrome yellow/corvette summer stuff reduced that car's value by about 8k.

Lol, it's totally worth it too just because it has a big engine and a crunched front end. |

That car has been for sale for over 3 years, you'd think he'd get a clue that it's not going to sell for anything near his asking price. |

This car was just at $21,000 not long ago and it obviously didn't sell, so what makes them think it will sell at $27,500? It's had over 25,000 views, it's not rare, it doesn't have super low mileage, and there are tons of 67's around for a fraction of that price....
