This thing is pretty sweet.

If i didnt already have too many cars and no money...

I wanna know what that other car is that's parked next to it in the garage.

Email sent. I just want to know what else that guy has in the garage and to invite him here. That would make a great starter car from my brother in law.

That was my initial thought, that you two should know each other. 

That's a cool collection of cars but being all "custom" that's also a big collection of needy cars. I can understand the want to reduce by one. 

Looks like one photo shows a Fiat 500 (probably Abarth.)  That must be his sensible car. 

I think the one to the left is a ACVW windshield. 

Looks like a lot of fun for $3500

My masochist side thinks it would be an epic "fly n drive".   My sane side recognizes it would probably kill me on the way home.

I like it a lot though.

Talked to the owner. Heading up omorrow to take a look if anybody wants photos of something specific if I don't buy it.  

Not in buying mode, but I am sure I as well as others would enjoy more pics. 

Sheesh. Really like this thing. Hope you buy it so we can see more!

Is a pile. For 1600$ and a fly and drive it would be brutal. It has this terrible abs seat in it and it's straight piped.

So offer 1500?

Normally I would and cut it apart to sell for parts of rebuild it a bit but I have a sailboat and a class 5 unlimited bug being stored in the spot it would have toi go. 

In reply to wearymicrobe :

I want more of wearymicrobes life. I have half the $$ required, but a poor boy mentality that causes me to buy "free" MG Midgets with rust problems. 

so yeah I got this in trade for some cash off the viper sale ecotec powered runs e85 260ish hp.  Will make a good chase car for Mexico and dessert running. Plus it's street legal.  

My brother in law has the boat he found a fresh water raced only bongo 14 and it's living at my place for a few months   

That bug is insane. How much for a ride? Lol

Oh I'd get locked up so quick if I took a Bug like that out on the streets. Let me know when you're ready to sell it!

Once I get forged bits for the motor and turn the boost up past 4psi and I almost kill myself then you can have it. I paid a pittance in terms of the total cost of the build in trade.

Sweet! Driving that thing home through the desert SW would give me no shortage of places to really berkeley myself up. 

..And the ad is deleted by owner...

Figured it would go to someone quick. 4AGE powered Midget sounds like fun!
