That would depend on what parts were still useable. things like
doors,engine if stil FI interior and top frame would be the more
valueable parts.

I was thinking the manual trans set-up would be great for someone
dumping the "auto" trans. I wonder if the shifting rod is different.
and of course is there a clutch cable tube in the tunnel of the
recipient? then maybe a hydraulic clutch slave is a good idea?
just brain storming this.
it is still FI, but I wonder how much of a conversion back to a carb is?
are the heads different?
thanks for your time.

I ratted around a few years ago wondering how to put a hydraulic clutch in
to replace the cable. Trouble I found was that all the clutch slave
cylinders I found "pushed" the rod whereas the VW cable "pulls" the clutch
lever. That,d put the cylinder in the engine bay. Or some other linkage.
Got distracted after that!.

I was thinking of buying it. but then I looked at it. I told them I
would "take it off their hands" for Free!
they haven't got back to me, Yet.
if it happens... anybody want some parts? N.CA.

There was a guy who posted on craigslist for a free VW for him and his
daughter to work on.

He said somebody gave him one.

I was going to offer him some of my stash parts,

But we had some words....

Nevertheless I think he got a free beater to work on.

I see a Trike project comming !
I have 75 Rupp with a 68-1500 single port. It's a blast to drive !!!

Depends if kafertoys ever had his hands on it... that right there
would diminish the value greatly.
