Hey, control yourself there!   Grin

I took a ton of pics today and I am going to put an ad on the Samba, look for it.   

My goal for the '65 was to restore it totally like factory, then do some mods to it, as if the car was bought off the lot in '65 and then had some bolt on mods done.  I think I achieved my goal.   Grin

One of you guys in the UK or Europe need this car.....

There has been some serious interest in the car of late. I am only getting rid of it due to the ever increasing lack of space. I just bought another ex-DRKC ghia that needs work and is perfect for the track,...SG or maybe SC?  If the car does not sell, I will change the color or the colour. Not sure what it would cost to get it over the pond, but still a great deal. It would cost me at least three or four times the "buy it now" price to replicate.

If I keep it: colour change, new interior, and drop spindles with rader wheels, new stereo, engine tin repant. It will have to be a body off as the original build in mid 90's had every nut and bolt painted, chromed or polished with most of it pink! The engine/tranny combo are perfect for a driiver so those will stay.  The wife can't operate the standard transmission, so I am building her a full auto 66 T34. Parts are a pain in the arss to get her in California.   The more I talk about it or drive it, the more I want to keep the car. Hope I don't end the auction early.

I think he would now if they were real BRM`s. I dont believe it, and I think the reason why the front centercaps isn`t put on the rims is because their fakies.....I`m not saying I`m right, but if he is selling the car and know the value of real BRM`s he would find out for sure....he cant be that stupid.

I will probably hang for this when the cars sells and it turns out to be real ones  Grin

Either way the car would be a bargain and it looks cool, great stance...

The first car is overpriced – you're paying for a ton of stuff you'd never want. The paint may be good (or at least, when it was done) but do you really want to pay top-dollar for a car that will need to be repainted – unless you want to drive a car in orange pearl... You're also paying for a ton of other stuff you don't want – yucky chrome repro five-spokes, accessories etc etc...

The second car is a typical "10 yard (metre!)" car. – look at the paint sprayed over the door locks, wiring etc, the baggy seat covers.... Because a car is in SoCal doesn't mean it's rust-free, arrow-straight and built like a Boyd hot-rod... That's a car I would personally stay away from, unless you can see it first hand and drive it.

i saw it and said yes that should be cal looked... its been repainted so not original, therefore no point in keeping it that way, if it was original paint i would agree to leave alone, but its not.
