I have my old rusty 356 up on The Samba for sale, but I changed the ad a bit to include selling just the VW pan alone in case nobody wants to deal with the body issues.
The pan is a shortened '68 VW Beetle, clean, pretty nice. It has a brand new swingaxle trans in it (I really wanted the look of the original 356) that's a built ProStreet unit. Hardened keys and shafts, welded gears, four gear spyder set-up super diff, new pucks, custom gear selection and R&P, a real highway geared trans, not just the current "Freeway Flyer" that's sold these days, heavy duty side covers, short axles and tubes for fitting big wheels/tires under the fenders. New rear drum brakes and brake lines and bearings and such.
The front is Ghia. New CB Performance forged drop spindles, new calipers, new rotors (little surface rust from sitting, no biggie), new bearings and seals, new KYB shocks, new TRW steering box, new red urethane steering coupler in case you wanna KILL yourself-but I have a new German one to go with it, new braided front brake lines, new master cylinder.
I have an early VW steering shaft and column and blinker assembly to go with it. It's got decent replica Empi eight spokes on it and has a little VW single port engine that's mounted to it as well. Runs well enough to light up the tires, but nothing special at all.
I listed it all for $2,000. If anyone comes up for it and will give me thirteen minutes with a reciprocating saw, I'll chop the body free and have them give a hand with the "Lift and separate."
DO you think that the $2,000 is a good price or is it too high for what's there. I REALLY don't know. It's pretty much everything that you'd wanna buy anyway, all in one package, but the price might be off, you know?
Any opinions would be REAYY appreciated.
Thanks !
