63 beetle for sale in harriman, tn

« on: April 23, 2009, 07:05:06 PM »
I answered an ad on craigslist for an original vw roof rack,  went to pick it up and the guy has a 63 beetle that is pretty complete,  it has lots of patina,  the hood was pretty rough,  but the car is mostly solid,  he had a motor out to go with it, but also had a 1600 dual port that he may be talked out of,  i believe the car has been sitting for a while and would need some work,  he wants 1500,  probably an ok deal. http://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/1118315215.html

I guess the pm kinda said what the first posting stated, the car has been sitting,  i can't remember if the pans were good or not,  i would say the brakes would need replacing and the usual of a car that has been sitting.

cool deal, i liked the vibe i got from the car, i wanted to take it home but have to many toys,  my son yesterday was talking about addresses and where we live,  he told me swan (something) pole?  ln, i asked where he had heard that a he said the woman talkin in grandpa's car,  the gps,  for some reason he remembered the address to the guy's house with the vw's a month later.  Now if i could get him to remember a few other things like cleaning his toys up etc, i'd have it made.
