Not sure anyone on here would want/need anything, but if you do, let me know!

Its an early 1966 car, rolled, engine tested very good. Transmission gone, rest there. Pics monday.

Rolled?? how are the rear fender arches, how do they measure up against your Fox?

Southcross · « **Reply #2 on:** August 30, 2010, 08:54:23 AM »

bump for salvageable body parts

Don't even think about it. Rabbit arches are the way to go Ed. Cheaper, easier to find, and match the lines correctly. 911/912 arches would likely need 10s of hours of fitment, but you are welcome to check it out...

Shit - you saw me on the way to go pick it up with the empty trailer!! That Jetta is a total sleeper. I laughed as you pulled away.

Little bondo, little glass, good as new!

Southcross · « **Reply #9 on:** August 30, 2010, 04:40:27 PM »

wow... those rear fenders are super flat, was hoping for more "flare"... I see what you mean by not being usable

greggearhead · « **Reply #10 on:** August 30, 2010, 04:43:42 PM »

Ed, I held up cut-off Rabbit flares to the Dasher - they would be perfect. Trust me. Give you about 1-1.5" more width in the rear and look right.

I have hopes of putting the car into the shop for restoration in the next month or two....the thought of having "porche" flares sounded kewl

engine price?

greggearhead · « **Reply #13 on:** August 30, 2010, 05:30:50 PM »

$2500. Willing to deal a little for cash money.

Sleeper implies that it's fast. I only know that it keeps up with traffic pretty good.

It was restored and then was being trailered to the owner, trailer disconnected - car came off trailer and rolled. Bummer.

ug, bet the insurance company is pissed and trying to screw over the owner, transporting company.

He should at least have receipts for the work. That would help.

receipts or not, most insurance companies require an inspection, photos and an appraisal to to valuate older restored cars over than 5k.

an insurance company won't ensure and older car at a stated value.... i know i had to do all of this to get the value of my truck raised from 5k to 15k even after i gave them copies of 10k in receipts.

greggearhead · « **Reply #21 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:54:05 AM »

Depends on the insurance company and the policy. There is a handful of companies dealing with specialty vehicles now that are happy to insure on an agreed-upon value, appraised or not, just needs verified condition at start of policy, basically.

I'd imagine most of the normal policies from the big companies are just as Jimmy says.

Barry · « **Reply #22 on:** August 31, 2010, 10:58:39 AM »

yes... if you have a historic, or market valued car, you need to check with your insurance agent about "stated value" or "market value" policies...

I have a 93 Cobra, and a 92 GTI in my garage now. I know if something were to happen, I'd be fighting tooth and nail over the $4K and $1500 checks, respectively that the insurance company would be trying to cut for those cars....
