This topic seems to want to close, even when I don't tick close topic on reply.... seems like you can still quote to reply though........

Wow... those stripes on the side are different. What are they, pinstripes?

Looks pretty tidy, good luck with the sale! :)


Jay_1965vw - May 26th, 2006 at 02:00 PM

Yeah, pinstripes. I don't really notice them any more!

He is a pretty tidy beast... I drove him for 9 months while Wolf was under resto at Vollkommen Art. The rebuilt motor since then is a huge improvement though :)

I'm really hoping he sells, Grandpa is giving me a commission ;) (he's somewhat deaf, so he can't deal with the phone calls easily).


PrettyBlueBug - May 26th, 2006 at 02:38 PM

I hope he won't be too sad to see it go. As long as it gets a good home! ;)

Hi Jay

Thats a nice looking car. The price is good after some of the heaps ive seen for similar money.

It may have a Build Date 5/75 but 1342 97004 is a 1974 chassis number and 1975 L Bugs had the indicators in the front bumper. It may have sat around at Clayton for a while.

Steve


Jay_1965vw - May 30th, 2006 at 02:29 PM

Doesn't look like anyone is interested currently though!!

Thanks for the info on the dates Steve :)

Free bump, thats a nice car, if I didnt already have my hands full I would look at it. I love Super bugs & L bugs.


Jay_1965vw - June 14th, 2006 at 10:38 PM

Grandpa's L Bug is still for sale!


vanderaj - June 28th, 2006 at 10:28 PM

I tried opening the thread. Hopefully it will stay open. If it closes again, I will look at it - definitely a bug.


Schmoburger - July 1st, 2006 at 01:32 PM

gtl1955 - July 18th, 2006 at 08:57 AM

How can that be a price drop from $3500 to $3500. Did I miss something?

Thanks for the heads up!!
