TF kit on Chevette –Brazilian?

[edward ericson]

Just came across this Craigslist ad on the MG forum. Early 1980s TF replica built on a Chevette using a Brazilian shell. Dig those funky Lafer-like doors!

This is no Lafer though, and could be a deal for someone who wants something, as the Pythons said, “completely different.”

Located east bay, San Francisco area.

Ed. Not sure if its Brazillian. Did find these ten TDs for sale on the samba. Interesting thing is someone has an ad for [WTB] and above that person’s ad there are at least 4 TDs for sale. What’s up with that?

The “Wanted to Buy” is looking for parts for the car pictured.
He’s not looking to buy a car.

The BCW on that page is a pretty nice car. Ed, you need two?

I am not far from this car  so if anyone is interested let me know and i could check it out

[edward ericson]

That’s a nicer one than mine–the NC BCW–no doubt.

Mine’s only gonna get crustier the longer I own it.:-)

[billnparts]

Ed,
Paul likes to refer to the crustiness as “patina”.
Keep in mind mine is far crustier than yours.

I need openions,Is this worth $2000,and if not what would you say its worth  ,it apppears to have been assembled  at one time ,he says  all   the  parts  are there I just  dont  know  what  to  offer I don’t want   to insult him,but I don’t want to drive 500 miles on a wild goose chase either not with the way  gas  prices   are (07 Hummer towing trailer)

Seems a little high to me since you can still buy a driver for 3,000 to 3500 if you look. Also if the body has lots of cracks in the gel coat you are in for lots of work ( ask me how I know ) so take your time and check that closely. Engine and pan and everything included? I believe I would check it out and then make a cash offer in the 1500.00 range if it looks OK. My two cents

[Dan Ogle]

Schu, rolling pan not included.The more I thought about it,I’am going to pass,your right ,you can find a driver for a little more. Thanks.

[Paul Mossberg]

Good advice Schu!

And good decision Tex!

[newkitman]

Yep! I paid less than that asking price for my unbuilt kit. Then had to find a chassis. Got a steal on the chassis. Go choice to let it go. Keep looking…you’ll find one out there that’s calling your name.
