Topic: VW Beetle parts - $300 (Yates City, IL)

I just seen this on the local craigslist and thought that I'd post it.  Nothing I can use for our beetle project.

Well heck........... I just couldn't resist.....     I offered the guy $250 for it all and he said sure, so I'll be picking up all the stuff this weekend smile

Again I don't really have a use for most of the stuff, but I might be able to use a few parts for our V8 Beetle??????  I figure if nothing else I can end up selling some of it on ebay and probably make some money off of it all, or maybe we'll start a new project????

Yeah.......... A whole shed full of 65-66 including an engine and trans, plus a 66 body, its just like x-mas smile

He says the body is rusted beyond restoring............ But I'm sure a lot of people would say the same about my project LOL:
