    Would be nice to see some photos of the engine and trunk, as well as at least a few with the top up and side curtains installed. I think the paint job, while very nice, is a bit gaudy. And as for the price, well, I guess we all can dream:

    Not a bad price $ 31,000 for a replica. I would take $ 29,900 for mine. ??? ???

    You’d think at that price the front bumper wouldn’t be so badly askew.

    That’s got to be close to a record price!   Hope he gets it. Sure would raise the bar for ours.

    A little math: The ad says that the interior took 500 hours of custom work. 500 hours times $75 (a reasonable price for interior work) is $37,500. Even at only $50 per it’s $25,000 just for the interior. The interior looks really good, but not $25,000 to $37,500 good.

    I’d like to see how these two listed features were accomplished on a 66 VW chassis:

    I don’t like the dashboard AT ALL — the gauges, oak wood, the padded leading edge, etc., but other than the dash that is the nicest interior I’ve seen yet on a TDr.  With 500 hours of labor involved, it should be…

    Yeah, that dash is a bit much.

    Frame off build. hmmm. That’s an enthusiastic pitch. With 1 of those hot V4’s. 😆 juneybug2014-02-04 15:44:25

    Is it really powered by the quite rare VW V4 engine? 

    ALARM SYSTEM?… Wonder how that works.

    I wonder what those bucket seats are from. Snug fit in the cockpit but they seem to work.

    If there is 500 hours in the interior many of them would be modifying or building those seats, I think. 

    As for the dashboard, I like mine better. But that is as it should be, isn’t it?
