How much is your reserve ? :rolleyes:


blkovl - January 10th, 2009 at 06:47 AM

The auction hasn't been up for a day yet. We dont want to reveal the reserve so early in the auction, Sorry.


humphrey - January 10th, 2009 at 07:39 AM

Fair enough.
Good luck with the sale !!


hellbugged - January 10th, 2009 at 03:47 PM

no luck involved, nice car & Brendann will have set a realistic reserve.........


mickmick - January 10th, 2009 at 05:41 PM

Nice car, would this car be good for a daily driver and does it have a stereo at all? Any other details that you would like to mention?
I am a complete novice when it comes to vw's but looking to get a good reliable one.
Thanks

that stock style interior looks great
i see a few reminders of the old pink interior lurking :lol:

good luck with the sale

hi Mick,
BAD currently has a stereo but we werent planning on selling it which is why we didnt list it. I've got it mounted inside the glove box so that it cant be seen and also hasnt cluttered the dash. Same with the aerial, it is inside so that it doesnt disrupt the lines of the car. The idea was to have a sleek hot-rod look. As a daily driver, it is perfect - that is what my wife has been using it for since she bought it over ten years ago. I can send you some more photos tomorow night if you would like, can you please PM me your email address? cheers,Brendon

I think I have this car in a old magazine but turbocharged? Same car?
T54

I think this is Mike Kirsten's (Of CBB fame) old car?

I remember it from the VW Nationals at Parklea and a magazine (or two).

It's nice to see that it is still in good condition. It's full of fresh ideas like the upholstered dash. It's a piece of Australian Veedubb history. I hope whoever ends up with it doesn't change it.

It had an SU carb fed turbo from memory.

Good luck with the sale.

I will try to dig up the story, from memory it had a draw through ford throttle body setup with a t4 and was pretty tuff. I remember the number plates. Think it was the cover car.

yeah, that's it..........

hit us with some engine specs/pics, and gearbox details etc etc Brendon please.......you got PM with email


blkovl - January 12th, 2009 at 08:23 PM

Hi Guys,
I will get some pictures of the engine bay tomorrow, flat out ran out of time today.
Mel bought BAD 12 or 13 years ago, with a 1916cc twin kadron engine, and late model "L"bug gearbox.
BAD is Mels first love and i have now been relegated to third in line since our daughter has arrived (which is why we are selling - can't fit car seat and pram).

Hellbugged: will send you specs and pics tomorrow!
Cheers, Brendon

I spotted this on ebay 2 days ago.

My misses told me yesterday she wants to sell her Ford van and get a beetle, I dont think she'll be able to get rid of the ford in time to make a bid on BAD and I'm spending all my money on a Type 4 engine, which is a pity I'ld like it parked at our place. She would just want to paint it purple anyway.


blkovl - January 13th, 2009 at 09:46 PM

I have put the pictures on the ebay page now, i tried to put them on here but i think they are too big.
Its a 1916cc with a mild cam, standard valves, and twin kadrons, Drives well with plenty of torque and hp, but smooth like a standard motor.
