People really need to learn the definition of “all original”, and he needs to come down about $15,000 or so lol. Rolling Eyes

I like the zip tie holding the rubber shift boot on. Exactly the way they did it from the factory. Such attention to detail. They apparently don't even waste time clipping the excess off!

Shocked Working on my 67 Bug.Getting ready to be a daily driver.Needed(still do),rubber parts.Got parts EIS,ball boots,they ripped in one day.And I even took off the ball joint bars that hold them to the front axle To do the job on my work bench.The boots ripped in one day.Changing the front turn signal lights rubber(From CIP1),They lasted 6 months,they have both cracked.TOO MUCH CHINA CRAP OUT THERE.So why don't the vendors include in their pretty pictures ,in the descriptions"PARTS MADE IN CHINA".And now I see motor parts listed,and some say made in China,but not all.I wonder how long do the AA pistons last.Anyone used them and will stand behind these CHINA CRAP? AHAHA,feel better,and thx to all who bear with my whining Cool !

He likes his engines like he likes his coffee. I weep for New England when you guys have to deal with cars and sellers like this.

Look at his other ads. It’s comical. Maybe rather that having 4-5 cars that are squirrelly, “all over the road” or have brakes that “sometimes go to the floor”, he should spend time getting one to stop, steer and drive worth a shit.
