I think what jay might be getting at (really the point I would like to make) is that this rag top has potential to be a nice car. If someone was to buy it "thinking" they would fix it up, it would be a crime to hack it up, dismantle everything and then just lose intrest in it. Take it from someone who is doing one right now- restorations, even if they are customizations- take alot of time and commitment to do right. Your looking at sinking in some major cash, so go into it with the drive to finish what could be a sweet ride.


I'd offer her $750- if the motor is trashed, that's some bucks. You can find a running one  for less on the samba

Hey John ,
Yeah i thought about the hacking part if the motor is no good then it wouldn't really make a difference unless it was rebuildable .Right ? 
Also most of the cars on Samba are out west and that would add to the price with shipping ,witch would bring up the cost of the car .
thanks Joe

I rebuilt the stock motor on the 60 beetle for about $650 but I did all the work myself. If the body of the car is in good shape, then it's a good candidate for a rebuild. There are plenty of donor motors available.

I was able to make a deal with the owner ..

That's gonna be one cool ride- The only thing I wish I had on Ned- a canvas roof. Might be in the future. s#r
