Start your own team! Make one good car? Looks like 2 A1 Rabbits and 1 A2 Golf.

Those things have serious history. And they were completely used up when parked..

By the way, you can see some old Rabbit Bilstein Cup photos at the Revs Institute. Let’s see if this link works.

I think we're all thinking that $2500 is waaaay too high for these three cars.

Team Behm cars. Looks like Les Behm passed in 2017. Stories indeed...

I wouldn't say waaaay too high myself. I like pieces of history. I hope they go to someone. I'd be interested in either the 61 or 63.

Look like they did some circle track racing after Bilstein Cup, then sat outside, uncovered, for fifteen years.

That depends.  A1 and A2 values went crazy about ten years ago.

Some weird cage design on the non-bolt-in cage. I would wager they don't run laugh

The only VWMS fuel distributors that I am aware of are Pierburg units that went by throttle position.  They had a double throttle cable arrangement to the throttle body that positively opened and closed whatever magic valve was in the fuel distributor.  I'd like to know more!
