I like yours better!

From what I've heard that guy can be a pain to deal with. He always has some really off the wall cars on his lot and you can check it out (its around 3356 Us hwy 129, Maryville, tn). I went there once before to look at all the different stuff and it was kinda cool. Looks like most of his stuff is a little over priced, but he might actually know what he is doing (vs  a crap shot on whether a previous owner knew anything about air cooled cars).

If you like any of them, go for it, but I wouldn't swap car + cash for any of those. I might request some cash on top if anything.

If I had 2500, id much rather have yours than take a trip to maryville. The reason I'm considering this guy is that he wants to trade. In all honesty, id love to trade for a drivable bus project, but turning a squareback into a bus is hard work. Lol

I bet that's a pretty awesome herd.

Also, the tail lights on the yellow one ARE non-US spec tail lights.  My '71 JAP 1302 has the same yellow flashers.

Keep the square is where I'd be.  Yeah, parts are a bit more, but still not that bad if you take your time sourcing them.  And, they are a hell of a lot cooler and less commonly seen.  Ceck out the Samba website, you are obviously familiar with that one.  And, if you want it lowered, a friend of mine builds custom beams to fit the type 3s that are type 1 based, and does a great job with them... sells them all over the country.

Seems reasonable.
