I think I'm getting the 'bro price... it's going to be $175; that's both the fugly squareback in the pictures, and a parts car that looks fairly complete. The second one is missing the back hatch, and has no engine (but DOES have the transaxle). The body is pretty much gone on the parts car, and I think there is only the title for the fugly one. I figure... how can I go wrong? (yes, yes, I know: famous last words!) I'll have to get it in the garage and pull the motor to know more, I guess... It would be pretty keen if it *is* 1700cc or bigger! - john ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
