I believe this is George's past creation and at $21k I believe it has spoke for itself a good a number of times......

Here's another from once local FL guy (USAF) now in Hampton, VA. I've seen it and really nice car with disc brakes and Fuchs wheels. Same $21k asking price.

Yeah, Alan, that's definitely George; guess he got tired of us. And Greg, that is a nice looking car. I don't care for the stripes, but the rest of it is sharp.
He sure butchered that windshield job...
" Butchered " Geesh, get some flat black caulk ( Alex brand @ ACE ) some blue tape and fill in the canyons :~)
It appears that 1970's racing stripe, is vinyl tape. With any luck, including no sun fade, it might be an easy fix.
OMG my eyes hurt looking at the pictures. It seems to be held together with a combination of ZIP-TIES, Caulk, Foam weather strip, And hopes and dreams. Wow George seems to be someone that has no problem taking shots at other people on the board, pictures say a thousand words
Good luck on your sale George All the best
I have seen the car Greg posted up close. It really is a nice car. I think the stripes are vinyl as well, ALB.
Here is a great project...

I was going to start a new thread for it but could not find the new thread button on my phone. (Odd... I know.)

This cannot possibly be true.
George posted here (at length) how his way with the windshield was the one true path. Sharing his method was his way of giving back to help the little people. It was only his desire to help we handicapped that kept him here for the short time we enjoyed basking in his greatness.
The first and last of these look like perfect raw material for Alan -- he could make these into something special, probably. Except for the price, I'd suppose. The beachy one w/ off set stripe looks like a real clean deal, except of course the stripes. Will assume that could be fixed. On George's car, what are all those red dealy-wops all over the place in the engine compartment?? funky . . .
What's up fellas? The striped beast is mine. The car sat for some years outside in the weather not running. There would be a significant stripe in the paint if I were to remove it. I get a lot of interest around here (Virginia), but no one ever follows through. I am glad yall think it is priced reasonable, I’ll actually go a little lower if needed. I love the car and it is perfect mechanically. I am a VW fanatic at heart and I am trying to get back into a beetle.
Most any beater speedster can be redeemed but one needs to approach it in a clear financial in mind... "How much am I going to invest to make it something that I can already be purchase done ? "
