Looked like a heck of a deal at $1k. If only I had a bit more time, cash, space…. Good luck to the new owner & glad you were able to sell it, Ian. Hope we see the car again soon.

Don’t think my wife will make it – if she does she will be coming up for just one day -Saturday. Still – there will be wives there and many of the speedster guys wives will be there as well – we seem to be an adopted part of their clan – at least until we can get a big group of our own. I think one of the guys said 6 year ago there were 2…[Read more]

Karen has agreed to be my hostage for the weekend. More wives=better for more wives. And that=better for us knuckleheads.

$6777. Wow.

$6777! 28 bids. For a TD VW. Trend or fluke?

Ed,
Over 6,000.00 now and moving up although the black one is only 2400.00 with 4 hours to go. Just goes without saying – make sure your car is detailed to the max

Betting they’ll be relisted. They’re both pretty cool.

Looks like that red VW-based TD is gonna sell for over $4500. Could be the economy is finally improving….

Very cool. You will be especially amused by the people who read it “V Wind Rag.” 

Ed,
I hope everyone proves me wrong and shows up – 6 or more would be
great.
and yes I will be driving the TD – the speedster will not be done till the
end of this year.

Montie,
If you can hook up w/ a group you will have a blast driving in – if not just
try and find a tow bar and just flat tow it to the show – no big deal and
cheap as well.

Just counted the Speedster/Spyder RSVPs: 28

That’s five then. Fingers crossed & everybody gets their engines buttoned up in time. This is gonna be cool.

Chime in, folks. Karen and I plan to arrive Friday midday.Dale Schumacher has expressed interest (pretty sure he’ll bring his gorgeous TD –but he has a Speedster under construction too…switch-hitter)Paul MossbergRichard Wobby–with a camperdbrock (?)Really hoping you’ll jump, Montie. Remember, a swarm of Speedster guys should be rolling right…[Read more]

Sorry you’re selling, Bill. That’s a fine TD. I hope it finds a good new home soon.

That Daytona Migi has some sa-weet wire wheels, eh?

IM-pressive. I’d love to know a bit more about your e-brake relocation. BTW, I fear your third picture is what Bridget’s going to look like this time next year.

That is badass. Wondering if, once your #4 injector is unclogged, your rich-running condition on the other three holes will be cured. Fingers crossed.

That’s awesome, for sure…but chainsaw engines? I think this thing should be powered by mini 18-cylinder Wright-style radials. Or at least something like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xe1LL1IC7Y(folds arms across chest defiantly)

see if you can pass a piece of wire around the bottom where it meets the frame/pan. That’ll slice any caulking and find any overlooked fasteners.

importation of kit cars a problem in Canada? Easier if built in-country?
