Looking for a 356
 

Just curious about pricing for the following ad. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2198208
Just started shopping around and getting a feel for the current market.

yikes. Someone needs some welding lessons. i'd find one that hasn't been messed with that much. To make the listed one right will cost $$$$ and will not be worth it.

You're referring to the underneath pic?

yes, the welding at the longitudinals is rather sub par. You can only wonder what else was hacked. Unless you can do most of your own welding and restoration, you're probably better off spending $15 or 20k more for a solid example than to try and resurrect a non matching T5 with tons of issues. It will end up costing you twice as much. Take your time and buy the best you can afford. they are still out there.

I'll keep looking. Not in a hurry. I don't mind a non matching numbers car. Just want it mechanically and structurally sound.

This guy may have what you're looking for or know someone that does. Good luck with the search!

I'll help if I can but we rarely do drivers, I prefer selling projects. Everyone has a different idea how a 50 year old car is supposed to drive, but when a project is described and sold honestly, there are no surprises.
But we always have lots of cars, so reach out if you have any questions about the market.
