not much to say. those look like gel coat chips - meaning that this is still gelcoated and not painted.
I'd ask more about the motor / tranny (which i am assuming is IRS). those look like little dual 34's with chokes.

That engine compartment looks whistle-clean.
The door chips look to have been caused by hinge misalignment; not a huge deal to fix.
$12K? Not terrible, especially for a Vintage with only 600-odd miles on it. I'd be willing to bet that someone from the New Jersey Replicar Club (Al Shapiro?) would be able to ID the car and tell you something about it.
Heck, Alan Merklin might have BUILT it.

Under 1K miles ain't even broken in yet....Those kinda chips with under 1K miles, owner should be slapped around a bit.....
Worth 15 Large at least in my opinion......

I don't reconize this speedster as a local in NJ or PA. ~Alan
Lot of chips, but only 1000 miles? Makes you go hmmmmmmmm? Maybe only 1000 miles since getting the new odometer? NO, say it ain't so, no one do such a thing...LOL
Perhaps an intermittent loose speedo cable.
Perhaps some asshat that has a mileage restriction?
Justin,
You had an earlier post regarding Registration.
All the VS cars I've seen are registered as mid 60's to early 70's VW's.
This one says: "Title reads: 2002 mfgd"
Does anyone have a VS with a "mfgd" registration?
DMV can take the fun out of a good deal in a heartbeat.....

My advice--listen to Lester.---Jack

Boy!!! Can they ever. My car was registered from NY as a 1973 VW. Arizona (Tucson) put me through the mill. It ended up in AZ a an SPC 1973. Special construction. I really would worry more about how the car was built, than the engine. How does the steering line up, dose everything work electrically, wipers, lights, etc.

The auction was pulled out; I wonder if it was one of those scams from someone in a foreign country....
