DO you know how it is registered? Is it on a Vw pan, if so registered as a VW Alan? if older than 15 years we could bring it into Canada. Ray
The description say it is built on a 68 VW pan, but no info on the title.
That engine alone would cost the price of the car. This is a hot steaming deal for someone.
Send Roger a msg through eBay I believe it was built 02 03 but can't recall the title designation but is was titled in PA
What's up with the single hood strap?
that's what he wanted I cringe when I put it on it's really a chastity belt
Those sure are some sticky tires.
Alan, there are some requests that as a builder ... you cringe and yet your the waiter providing the build.

I asked the seller for an interior picture behind the seats to see how the roll-bar was installed and what supports were in place for the hardtop. Hasn't sent me any interior pictures, which makes me wonder what's going on back there behind the seats.
I welded a 3 point bar....that being at each base of the L & R sides and a center brace from behind the E brake area of the tunnel to the roll bar.
$17,600 someone got a hell of a deal!.......Here's my way of thinking i.e. what I would do to generate cash :
Pull the Raby motor and trans selling both as a used unit for at least $9,500
Sell the hard top painted to the buyers specified color for $1,700
Sell the wheels for 200
$ 11,400
Car now costs you just $6,200
Purchase a 1915 motor for $4,000
Rebuilt 3:88 trans 800
Wheels 600
Top 750
Total $6,150
.
.......Sell the car for a minimum of $16,000 as long as you get rid of that ugly single hood belt
I bid $17.5k on that car and lost to a bid of $17.6k that was placed at the last 2 second of the auction. If this was a legitimate bid, then I congratulate the winning bidder on a hell of a deal. But I was looking at the bid history and noticed (according to eBay's data) that 7% of the winning bidder's auctions wins are from the seller of the car... suspiciously high in my opinion. I imagine we will see the car up for auction again in the future, sooner or later...
Seller cannot bid on their own item but that's not saying a friend could not bid on their behalf...
Alan: you'd really pull the motor and trans, sell them, sell the top, sell the wheels, replace the top, replace the motor, trans and wheels, resell the car and after all that only clear like $3,500?
Not counting body touch-up (the single hood belt)?
Not counting whatever it might take to transport and/or register the thing...?
Cuz that seems like a lot of rigamorole for $3-$4k.
And I say this as a guy for whom $3-$4k is considerable scratch.
Ed, I totally agree with you. Those wheels are UGGGLEEEEE!
Change them, keep the hardtop and add a soft top and tonneau. For a widebody person it may be the perfect car.
Done!
