A little testy there huh Ned.....
You come to our site with an attitude....
We all know what a VS looks like, and all the other makers, but just for the sake of argument, patronize us just a bit with a few photo's.
How do we even know you own a speedster..We don't know you from a hole in the ground....
some of these guys get their rocks off looking at "other guys" cars..
Ned - your price seems fair for the car as described. And as you may or may not have gleaned on this site, one should take tongue-in-cheek comments on this site with a grain-of-salt.

In the spirit of your '...you-know-what-a VS-looks-like' sales pitch, most of us already know what ground beef looks like at the butcher shop, but I suspect that a careful buyer would probably NOT buy ground beef on 'Special' if they couldn't see it before buying it.

...I'm just saying...
Hey, Ned. We all know you're trying to sell a car. Most of us are familiar with VS products, but there has also been a history of folks posting here one or two times and never being heard from or seen again.
Some of the best deals people have made on this site have been brokered by one of us telling someone else about a car seen on this section, and then either sending a link, or simply by saying, "Here's the car," then pointing at the screen in the office or over a beer on the weekend.
Not putting the pictures up here is about like posting a metal-bodied original on the Craigslist or some other site and not mentioning whether or not the engine was the one the car was sold with -- and asking a premium anyway.
Photos I'd be interested in, on a replica, would be the underside of the car to check for rust, I'd look at what you could show me in the engine compartment (is it clean, are there one or two carbs, is there a fuel-injection system and so forth), I'd like to see the dash close enough to look the odometer in the eye, and I'd like to see the condition of the top and side curtains.
More often than not, the list of questions and answers here will outnumber the e-mails you'll get, and answering them daily for a week or two will generate the goodwill that you'll need to move the car as a trusted agent.
We're all replica guys, which means we're mostly VW people at heart. We're not asking for the perfect gem, but we would like to see the ring's still got the cubic zirconia in the setting -- if you take my meaning.
Hope this helps.
