Trade My 58 Ragtop bug for your locked FJ80

I have a 1958 Volkswagen Ragtop Semaphore European Beetle in great shape.

Empi Disk brakes in the front, wilwood 4 piston disks for the rear (new in box ready to mount)

Nice car! I have a 63.

Someone should snatch that up. It's worth a helluva lot more than I paid for my last 80.

Thanks!! Post up a pic of your 63

Just noticed my full add didn't post.

Cons

Paint is a 5-10 foot car
Popes nose, decklid, and tail light housings need painted to match
Needs headliner on Ragtop installed, have headliner.
Needs a motor but comes with just about everything to build a 300 hp 2332cc turbo motor. DRD L7T heads, straight cut gears, Webcam 218, 84mm Crank, 3 rods, 3 94mm pistons and cylinders, complete draw through turbo kit with T3 turbo, cold side turbo has oil passages in manifold to prevent icing, Holley 780 double pumper, doghouse cooler, all tin, new alternator. All this needed is a case, crank turned, 1 rod, one P and C, I would just buy new sets that are matched though.

Update: It now has a stock 36hp motor! Get in a drive.
