The wheels and bumpers would be worth that. Wouldn't mind the trailer for $100 though. volma1
They are still there, just have faith you'll find one.

$800 USD?
It does look very unloved so maybe the roof was totally stuffed? Maybe rolled? Whatever
Can't say I've seen a convertable and they are sweet with the low roof, but I'm swinging on this (like convertables and not a total
purist)
Probably did butcher it though and has now decided to sell cos the task is too hard?
Needs a structural enginer to buy it and get it right, or someone:jesus
Sell it for parts is a good idea. See any good panels anyone?

"They continued production of the Type 34 Coupe through July 1969, when it was discontinued due to decreased demand, and to make way for the
Porsche 914 production. The Type 34 Cabriolet, originally shown and marketed in late 1961, was never produced in volume, mainly due to extensive
modifications necessary to create the convertible (which would have priced it too high for the market)."

Hmmm, so this means if you've got a stock one then you have a very rare ride indeed

Windscreen looks too tall would need to be chopped.
You would have to get in Dukes of Hazzard style, slide over the bonnet and then swoosh over the doors
way cool especially if Daisy was watching :P |
