Red, hardtop, wire wheels, fancy, $7450 Illinois

[Peter C. King]

The pictures tell the story on this one. It is pretty.

 

This car was professionally built in Miami, Florida. It comes with a two-tone hardtop, 2 removable windows, a retractable soft top, 2 side curtain windows, a car cover, owner’s manual’s a wooden MG box and wire wheels. The Volkswagen chassis is rust free. The VW engine was rebuilt around 5,000 miles ago. The tires are new, the paint shines like the day it was painted. The radio is located in the center console of the vehicle and the 2 speakers are located in the back. All gauges in the car work, the windshield wiper and washer work as well as heating and fan. The engine is dressed with chrome. The battery is fairly new.

That one looks amazing!

[Paul Mossberg]

Amazing? Nah. But pretty darn good. Like all of’em…there are some issues.

 

Love me some hard-top! But those removeable windows look like they were done in sixth grade metal shop. At least on the driver side.

 

Shoulder belts – nice! Attached to a fiberglass roof? Not nice!

 

And I hate to keep climbing on this soapbox…but here’s another seller with accuracy issues…and some over the top enthusiasm.

Wires are very nice! But I doubt they are 16″ wheels.

I’ve never heard of a powerful 1600cc VW engine.

Not one in focus shot of the interior.

And several exterior shots are out of focus too.

The “Lambo of TD replics”? Not really!
