New and looking for a body.

Try Kitman Motors.

Since you're in Pennsylvania you may want to contact Carey @chines1 Beck: Special Edition http://www.beckspeedster.com/ and see what he can do for you. He is one of our top builders but the only thing I'm unsure about is whether his body would fit a VW pan. Carey builds his cars with a custom tubular chassis and custom pan. Or you could buy an unfinished roller sans paint and all the trimmings and build away.

Another option is to contact Greg @VSpyder at Vintage Motorcars https://www.vintagemotorcarsinc.com/ . He is another top builder and he is located in California. Greg builds pan based Speedsters and could hook you up as well.

@DWP

Some still make what they call rollers - where you add suspension and interior.  Expect to still pay around $20k.  There are a couple of companies that sell just the bodies on TheSAMBA - but be sure to add in all the additional parts required.  A used/abused/unfinished CMC/FF kit car is probably the cheapest entry - since you have the build expertise.

Only took 4 post? Trust me at my age I gave up.

And no way do I want to look under the hood!

DWP I could not help it...  the post just made me chuckle

getting one one and renewing it is for sure the cheapest way to go when you have the skills

No problem, surprised no one beat you to it.

Next time something with some more curves.

And steroids. Lots and lots of steroids.

I had a bad experience with them.

Todd M,

Since you opened that door, it only seems fair to explain.

"New and looking for a body."

-That was my pickup line at bars during university days....not Arnold type though  ....smaller and femalier

I been working out a little. 

Those body suits fit nicely  

Glad to see you’re keeping your face out of the sun. 

I'm 58 now but this is what I looked like at 24 years old  and yes steroids were involved and some hair dye I believe. Wow, the 80's were a weird time, I can't believe I went on stage wearing that thing LOL.. My wife now calls me the body builder gone bad. You will have to come to Carlisle to see what I look like now. 

I was thinking of something more like this, but not sure if the car comes with Her.

That was a lot of work and hours in the gym Congrats

my cousin was mr. East coast of Canada his full Time hobby as well

I was "Mr. South Grafton" but that was mostly for drinking at the Polish Hall.....

 But not to take away from your effort, as I KNOW that it takes one helluva lotta work to get to that level.  I never got there, for sure.

Rusty Tubs might be a source for a body.

The Rusty Tubs Speedster doesn't have the sub-frame attached to body - you do have to buy it separately.  Add up cost for all the individual parts needed as they add up quickly!

I'd contact DrClock (now in Elkins WV but was in Chambersgurg PA) - he has built many Speedsters (46?) and has people call him out of blue with leads on cars.  Your best bang for buck is a complete kit - either unbuilt FF/CMC (Yes they still exist 30 years after going out of business) or one needing refurbishing.

NOT MINE. Here's complete car for $10.5k in Ohio that looks decent-

I've seen more scam sells on Trovit than anywhere else on the internet. I found a listing for this car on another similar website with a for sale date of April 2018. I'd imagine for that price it would have sold already.

Possible Scam Car Sale Site

Not a car for sale over $18,000. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
