I wonder if thats the green one that was done up a few years back.... If it is, It was 100pt concourse then.... And the guy sold it for over 20K after he built it.....

i am not sure, she has come back with the car from VIC, without the husband. She sold a oval for $10K in VIC and is selling this in perth. Jodie is her name Salters point, too much for me unfortunately at this stage.

quote from jodie -
had the car for 7 years,we had 3, 55 oval and 66 factory convertible.

I brought her originally not running the motor had seized. I then decided that I would strip her and bring her back to her original condition.
which is 6 volt, no modifications whatsoever to body tyres exterior/interior I have however had the motor beefed up to a 1400 instead of 1200 original, bigger bearings and pistons.
She is that blue/green(original colour) with the cream insert. Her interior is original burgundy with the cream piping all re done. She has the original floor mats(rubber) all new rubbers, thru out the car. No rust she was stripped to bare metal and re painted 4 years ago, she has been on the road three years I used her as my potter, she has done maybe 4000 kms since being on the road original kms 93300 My ex-husband and I did belong to the Victorian VW Club and went to all their shows but didn't enter I just had her on display for all to appreciate. VDub Performance carried out the paint work and motor was done by an old German vw mechanic Volts power. The car is at my home in Salter point, not being used at the moment. It has just run out of vic rego but will be registered when it sold no problems there. I as you can tell have a great passion for my VW's. I would love to keep her but unfortunately that can not happen.
