So I have a deal going with a few of my buddies. If we see a deal on something, we let the group know. I saw an ad for a guy that wanted to trade a boat for a large CC VW motor. I know a guy with motors used as paper weights. So I let him know.
I saw a guy giving away a gas tank for next to nothing and I knew another guy looking for one. Keeps the VW karma up.
Anyways, just wondering if it's worth keeping a thread going. Post and delete as you see fit. The free stuff thread got too big and wasn't maintained by the posters.
Anyways... here's what I saw in San Diego (Craigs list) today. If only I had more space. The guy is asking $450. Just a heads up...
Note that Sandblaster 913 tire is called that because that is its size. It's a 9.00-13. It's about 31 inches tall. They were popular in the 70s on racers in the 1200cc old Class 9. Class 9 then was just like the 1600 buggy class became later except the engines were required to be 40 horse 1200s with a 28mm carb. I have an old pair of Bridgestone Alligator 9.00-13s off of one of those cars.

Interisting long back rail for sale for 100 spack-er-roos!. Not sure on it being K&L or BJ but not hard to change. The wifie-poo won't let me get it because of the black buggy still being here.
I think the bottom pix is a discussion about it at TOS.
Nice old car. Not really a Chenowth in spite of the front bumper and the hood. You might note they don't fit that great. This is a short back frame as built by Sand Toys and a thousand others. Mine in 1977 was from Johnny's Speed & Chrome. It has a diagonal in the cage like a racer, though I've never seen one of these chassis at a SCORE race or any other race. No reason not to use them, just haven't seen it. Only class a Ball Joint/Swingaxle would fit into would be Class 9. this would work for that.
I've seen this car for sale before, maybe a couple of years ago. Same pics I think. Appears to be a much better car than a lot I see in that price range.

Hi all!
My neighbor at my condo complex has a 70 Stock Beetle for sale. $4000. If anyone is interested, I can get pics. Has a good running 1600 and is completely stock. He says it could use a paint job...I think it looks fine.
