Nobody that paid more than 500.00 wants to talk about money it seems. I paid 3500.00 for a complete 65 hardtop that is original except the leather interior has been replaced with vinyl rear seats and a "lovely" velour on the buckets. Because I liked it! The motor and trans seem fine but the soft parts inside and all bushings, shocks, springs and some other hard parts are being replaced. New fuel system front to back etc. Then a trip to the auto electric shop after I clean up all conections. Finaly a re-paint. I figure about $15,000 total. Worth it? I intend to drive it 6-8000 mi per year. What can I buy for 15,000.00? Certainly nothing in this league. As an investment? I'll loose less than I would on a Jetta when I move on in a few years and I get to have some fun!
