Hello. I’ve got a 1975 Daytona MiGi unassembled kit that I’d like to put up for sale, but have no idea what to list it for, or even the best place to list it. I’m hoping the club would give me some guidance on pricing and location. (I’m located in Florida).
My father purchased it at least 23 years ago along with a similar kit car that was already assembled. I think he thought he’d build the second car, but never got around to it. I’m practically positive it fits a Volkswagen frame.
Once I figure out how to post a photo, I can include it. I see the photo button in the editing options, but it doesn’t let me upload anything.
Thanks!
Amanda
These are the instructions prepared by the great Ed Ericson on posting photos on this forum.
******************
First you go to your own thing. Upper right corner it should say something like “Howdy, Happy Jack.” Click on that and you get a drop-down menu. At the bottom it says “media.” Hover over that with your curser and you should see another drop-down menu with “albums,” “photos” “videos.” Click on “photos.”
That should bring you to a new page. If you have previously uploaded pictures, you will see some of them. Under “All Photos” near the top left of the page you will see “options” and “upload.”
Click on “upload.”
That opens another drop down box. You can actually drag and drop pictures into this from a folder on your computer screen, or you can navigate to the folder on your computer with the pics. Double click on them and the upload begins. You should see them appear in your photo album.
To get one into a post you have to click on it.
It should open up big. Then RIGHT-click on it, and you should see a box open up on it with options like “copy,” “save image as,” etc. Click on “copy image address.”
Now close the pic and find your way back to the post you want to put this photo in. (I often use two browser windows for this, keeping the “new post” box open in a separate tab or window).
(Hang on, we’re getting close now)</span></span></span>
Above the window where you want to make the picture go, there’s a line of little symbols. The second from the left is like a jagged little mountain with a little moon over it. That’s your “insert pic” button. Click it.
That opens a new box with a prompt that says “Source.” PASTE (control or command V) the “image address” you copied about six steps ago. Then press OK.
The photo should appear now as if by high-tech magic. So simple even a computer science Ph.D. could do it, sometimes, maybe, if he’d had enough Red B

"Drive Happy"Hi Amanda. Sorry it’s so kludgy to post pics here.
If the kit you have is all NOS with the parts still bagged you might get a couple grand for it. With a good VW pan (if that’s what it needs) maybe $3k or more.
As for where to sell? Damned if I know. I bought an unbuilt kit off craigslist in 2017 but since then that site seems to have become worse than worthless. I have a car on facebook now and it’s attracting nothing but flippers.
The Samba might still work. Make sure you have a VW-based kit and list it there. I think it’s easier to post pics there than here too.
Good luck!

Thank you for those instructions! I am uploading the photos to my post.

Forgive me for not knowing, but is Samba a specific website?
I agree with you on Facebook Marketplace. The interactions can be very frustrating!

Here’s a link to a running TD kit car priced at $8500.
Good luck!
