That’s pretty bad for a VW based TD. My 300hp 302 V8 delivers me 10 MPG.

Well if a ready made top is not available, the next best option would be to have one made. A good tri, shop would be able to make one from scratch. check out boat upholsterers.

As I recall it’s on the left side of the block just above the oil pan on a flat boss apx. halfway along the block. When mine pulled out I simply epoxied it back in.

Around here in Norther VA I have seen a few on FB MP in the 7,500 to 10,000 mark but every nice and ready to go with no or very few issues. They don’t go quick because I have seen them posted for awhile. My guess a sort of running car that looks nice would be 3,500 – 5,000.

Post it here – we have people coming here asking where to buy

$3500.

Hey thanks, man!

Check out the appropriate manual up in the “Library”

Nice run!

I just flat towed my TDr 3-1/2 hours each way last weekend. Make sure it’s in neutral, parking brake is off and the column is unlocked.

Here is the post that the late great Royal Hendrix posted some years ago. He addresses about everything.

How’s this?

Linky no worky Bill. You pulled your own edit link instead of the published link.

I will give you a call later today. I need to have my wife dig them out – recovering from a broken back.

A couple shots from others of last weekend.

I might have some in a box someplace. Need Tach only? What type? Please post a picture if you can or PM me. I think these are the white faced ” Vintage ” gauges that many cars came in – SS or Chrome rings I think. I bought the kit to replace the speedo but got the original to work but might keep that one.

I’ve searched through the black hole that is my garage and the only tachometer I found was a Stewart Warner unit. Odd,  because I removed VDO from the car and installed Stewart Warner. Sorry, I can’t help you.
