I'm repeating this post as I have had only one person respond to actually going there to get anything, and then only a door +. It's in Auburn, CA. I hate to see this car go to scrap, but . . . . . I can help with getting this, I have a truck to haul stuff with, I just can't bring the car home to part it out. Jeff * * * * * * * * I spotted a '70 squareback sitting in the lot of a garage recently. Yesterday I stopped by to chat about VW's etc. Didn't turn out as planned. Seems the shop has this essentially great condition '70 Sqbk in the yard for the automatic transmission and associated structural mounts. Everything else is scrap to them. They build custom VW based trikes, and a customer wanted an automatic transmission, so they are gonna cut up and throw away a '70 Sqbk for the trans and structural mounting areas. Probably use a bug engine. The engine is 'toast' (their words) but still there. Body panels straight and clean. Hood sat on, but should be easily popped out. About 3 inches of water on the passenger floor due to recent rains and an uncaring shop. Rear window out but intact. Anyway here's the deal. After they cut out what they want, they'll throw the rest away unless I can find someone who will take it away. So . . . . . . . Anyone in the Sacramento area (it's in Auburn) want a '70 Sqbk for the hauling away? I won't post the name or specific location of the shop. Here's an idea that might work. IF anyone nearby has a pan that they can use to chop into a trike, they might be willing to trade. Or if you are willing to pull the body off the pan in their yard, they would probably let you, as it would be easier for them to access the trans mounts. (they refer to it as a sub-frame) (Bob Couse-Baker are you interested?) Odds are that they'll just roll this Sqbk onto it's side and proceed to slice and dice with a torch with NO regard to anything but their objective. Pmail me if you have any ability/desire to save this Sqbk. I am unable to do anything directly about this vehicle, as I am currently trying to sell 3 busses and SO will NOT allow it to be brought home to part out. I would be able to find some time to assist in this task though. - Jeff Iwanna21/23windowsunroofDeluxewalkthru! to be used for daily driving '80 Westi (2) BOTH FOR SALE '66 Bus, Kombi FOR SALE '22 Piano, upright Kohler & Cambell FOR SALE '67 Sqbk '64 Ford Crewcab '87 Subaru 4WD '97 Nissan Quest Grass Valley, California, USA Jeffrey.Carver@Aerojet.com
