Almost for sale,
looking for help pricing this car for sale. My wife is almost ready to let go of her Vintage Speedster. Long story, my loss, your gain. Registered as 68 vw. Kirk sold it to me as a kit but he ended up doing the pan and assembling the entire chassis/brakes etc.. All new or rebuilt parts. I did final assy and paint and body. I have 40 years experience so I have seen the criticisms here of owner built "kit" cars but I don't see that applying here, you be the judge. Many extras, front disc, front/rear sway bars, trunk kit, Porsche Slate grey, 3 coats color, 6 clear. Car was block sanded 4 times prior to paint unlike the one time at the factory. Not knocking factory but I have more time and wanted this car right. 2 weeks spent cleaning up wheel wells alone, ( I'm not a fan of heater ducts showing- see pics). VS does nice job on door gaps but after days of work, mine are perfect. Boastful I know but tell me if I'm wrong. ( 1965 Porsche SC engine fully professional rebuild ($10K), New Kennedy clutch, flywheel & pressure plate, correct Solex carbs etc., etc.. 12V system, all Bosch electronics. 1965 SC was THE best engine ever put in the 356's (all right, except the Carrera!). Runs, drives, starts, stops as should. A pleasure to drive. Just 650 Kilometers!! Just broke in and sorted out. Just finished first service. Please, I know there are some opinions out there as to value, please offer your opinion so I will have some idea. I know the rare engine option makes it difficult. Thanks in advance, Scott
