I dunno but to me old Vw brake drums are just that! Old brake drums and not really worth anything.... But apparently these rusty old Vw parts are actually worth money! I'd offer someone 20 bucks I guess?? Then again, I hate making offers!

Due to their rarity,and quality. They are worth some cash. The last lot I bought set me back $200. They were complete and machined to fit a beetle. So take in consideration if they need machining,new shoes ect.

Damn! Ha ha! Don't listen to me then!

Might be cheaper to get a parachute??

Jeez, i feel bad for just selling mine for $250 now.

now i'm one of "those" guys driving up prices

If they weren't worth it, they wouldn't have sold. Market decides prices not guesstermaiters. My2c

Old German OE metal is much better quality than aftermarket replacements.
Measure the drum diameter to determine how much life is left in them.
The early drums '62-3 are a smaller diameter than '64-7 which are bigger and better!
I think $250 is a fair price for a part that is nearing 50 years old, that is still in usable condition.

Between 150-300 depending on cond , repro drums have had a habit of stripping splines ($90 ea) .

Geez Matt.....does that mean 300-600? 😂

Ben, have you worked out which arm and which leg you can do without?😂

1916baja · 31 May 2013, 8:56 am

Chute!

Klaus · 31 May 2013, 4:16 pm

Pair not each or use IRS type 3 backing plates and new drums

whathaveidone · 31 May 2013, 4:41 pm

Deal has been done. Thanks Greg.

The arm is healing nicely😂😂😂😂
