That crank doesn't look counterweighted to me, Ryan Wink

A few weekends ago at the Vegas Bug-O-Rama I spotted some old Weber carbs in the swap section. 36DCF's they were... My first thought (and hope!) was that they were Ferrari carbs, so I broke out my mobile and googled "Weber 36DCF". Sure enough, Ferrari, Ferrari, Ferrari came up. Without even taking a close look I asked the gentleman how much, he said $50 for the box. That's a gamble I'm willing to take Wink Got them home and searched through the box, found 2 sets of 37mm IDA venturies which I quickly sold for $40, and a few other misc Weber IDF items that I gave to Slinger. Put the rest on eBay last Saturday, and they seem to be doing quite well Smiley

Yes, indeed Smiley Top priority will be paying down some bills first though. What boggles my mind is that it took me a couple months to unload my cherished Porsche Cosmics at $2650, and a week to get more than that out of some knackered old Webers. I'm pretty sure we're all messing with the wrong cars!! Cheesy

Seems funny Does'nt it.  Take a look @ the value of the car the Cosmic's are going on , Versus  the value of the car the Webers are going on, that might explain it

Although not "Cal-Look", I found a pair of slotted "Pre-A Porsche" 16 inch rims for $40.00 for the pair !
 Shocked

VERY cool! A set of those with widened ones on the rears would look great on a Cal Look VW.

I just picked up another load of parts (nothing exciting by any stretch) for $25 bucks yesterday... at the very least, I got an entire IRS transaxle that, in theory, I should be able to get a core charge from at German Transaxle in Bend to recoup my initial investment and then some... and then there's a bunch of miscellaneous stuff that I should be able to sell, hopefully, to further fund Project '70.  Always keepin' my eyes open, even if a bit of travel is involved.... I can always find a reason to make a day trip.  Grin

Not exactly from a swap meet.
Years ago my local VW / Porsche dealer became a VW only dealer due to the economy.
I ended up with all three Porsche signs from the outside of the building.
Recently I was back and one of the mechanics asked why I never bought the interior sign ?
I said I never knew there was one !
He took me over to the service side of the building and said "look up" !
Well. now it is mine and will be hanging in my garage soon !
