New "F" car on Ebay

[xray]

"Factory", that is....HLS30-60354. At least that's what the dealer claims. Hadn't seen this one yet:

I recall some folks tracking these for value, etc.

Interesting bits on this one...

-radio delete (hadn't seen that one yet)

-Plaque on the console (oops --missed that one!)

-carpet looks like loop pile--I thought Les at CDM supplied cut pile carpeting? At least that's what I got from him when I ordered my carpet set....

That's a real one. Listed as the 31st constructed in Pete Evanow's reference, the car was originally sold to Ferman Nissan. The last one of these I saw sold in the low 30s. The two before that sold in the low 20s. The asking price is quite reasonable. A banking plate over the radio was common for these restorations. The plaque on the console is standard. I didn't like the looks of the carpeting and the luggage straps are missing? But loop pile would have been the proper replacement for these cars.

If anyone has questions about the Vintage Z / Z-Store restoration program, ask away.

ok, you've convinced me. go ahead and buy it and i suppose i will take it off your hands. but know that this would be a HUGE favor to you.

There for a second I thought someone had dropped the "F" bomb but it sounds like we're okay in this scenario.

I wonder what the owner could possibly find on a VW lot that would merit letting this car go?

I think most folks on this list are doing a Z restoration program!

Probably on consignment, owner may have a relative who works there, etc.

On the other hand, I like VWs. I've owned several, all of the sportier varieties. GTIs, GLIs, Sciroccos, and a Corrado. And if I had room, I'd love to find an R32.

I wouldn't mind having one of these myself. Sweet looking cars they are. I like the look of the 2004 version the best. They're definitely a bit pricey, even the used ones.
