Bill, I checked out the Dolphin gauges. Looks like very good prices for a set. Were there any issues with speedo cable connections, oil pressure sender, etc.?Sam

Come on guys.  I think that there is relatively widespread agreement that the “best” TDr’s were made by either Allison or BCW.  $15,995 for a Fiberfab is way high.  Here is a more realistic example (IMHO) of what to expect.  Here is a super nice Allison that although it did not sell (seller’s reserve was not met) the high bid was $8,356.  [Read more]

And here’s a FiberFab form eBay at $15,995:

Just a thought…we could pop up to San Luis Obispo (10 miles from Pismo) and take the foodie tour.see; http://www.centralcoastfoodtours.com/san-luis-obispo-tour2Yule could put something together just for us.It would probably be $80-$100 Just for the tour ;)Any thoughts?

Thanks guysIm going to take your advice and order them tomorrow. I appreciate the quick feedback…Rick

Those are both nice replicas that could–and should–fetch a bit more than the going rate of $4-$5k. It is my humble opinion that our cars should be worth more than that on average, judging by the going prices for Speedster replicas, which are generally very similar to our (VW-based) cars under the skin.

My own car has been listed on Craigslist and eBay for a week now:

I have been using a set of Dolphin guages now for a year and a half in my FiberFab, no problems.

May 21st is good with me.

Considering how nice your car is, I think your price is fair.Also you’re offering at the “best offer” option.Good luck with your sale.

Hey AllJust wanted to keep the ball rolling about our West Coast meet. I was hoping to get some feedback about the date of May 21st and the location of Pismo Beach. Will this work for all of those who want to attend? Let me know so I can make some calls for discounts and incentives.Thanks.

Thanks everyone. What do you think about the price? Am I asking too much?

Almost done with the front end, just need to make new strut rod brackets, Mustang II strut rods are a little different than pinto ones. Next up, rear end.
