OMG- run from this!!
The stroy is the motor and trans is not Original ,
how much do youknow about the current motor? The rear fire wall is missing, ALL of the cooling tins are missing, the block looks pretty knarly for having an MSD set up put on it and some pretty wires, the carb looks like they found it in a parts box and do you really think any air is getting through that filter? I notice he has stand-offs on the engine lid- must be from the constant over heating.
he Made his own convertible supports ,
the only reason he would need to do this is if it was originally a sedan or the frame has rusted out.
and there's a make shift patch in the luggage shelf . There is a top frame but no top
again, sloppy work to make it into a salvagable car.
he put a early steering wheel on it from a chevy .
why? it's an ugly wheel to begin with so it looks like he had it laying around. this looks more and more like a collection of parts thrown together.
Do you think this VW is worth 3,500 ?
Oh it needs the right gas tank to ...
I dont think it's worth $500 as a parts car. Remmember, you have to fix everything that is wrong with it and this is only what I can see from here. I would maybe make an offer of $750 but you will have to sink at least another $3-4000 into it to make it prersentable. Convertible parts (especially early ones ) are very expensive.
I would be patient and wait for another car- it will come. Trust me.
