'77 VW chasis with Bradley GT body. Weighs apx 1600lbs. Currently titled and insured.
Needs a new crankshaft. The flywheel has came loose and the dowel pin holes in the crankshaft are egged out. As far as I know the only way to fix it correctly would be to replace the crankshaft.
I have had this for about 5 years. I drive it maybe 150 miles a year in the summer. Before the loose flywheel it ran great. Starts easy. Sounds like a hot rod with a good exhaust bark. I wouldnt call it fast compared to modern sports cars but its pretty peppy and fun to drive. Needs a good paint job if you wanted to turn it into a show car or something. Interior is all there and in good shape, its origional so it looks old and ugly IMO. I installed a rear view camera as you could not see behind you. All instrument gauges work. MPH gauge, Tachometer, Oil pressure gauge works but sender is origional on/off VW style so it reads max when has pressure and 0 when pressure is low, fuel gauge, head temperature gauge. CD player. Head lights work but high beams do not, did work at one time and i dont recall what it needs. LED brake lights, LED running lights and LED blinkers all around, stock lights wouldnt stay working so i installed LED's. Head light popup covers work. Rear plexi glass window is tinted dark and really needs replaced. Side windows were broke so i turned them into T-top style half windows. No seat belts installed.
*engine specs*
* 1835cc ,maybe 300 miles on the cylinders and pistons.
* dual port heads
* 8.5:1 static compression
* Engle W110 cam
* performance valve springs
* dual Kadron Solex single barrel carbs
* aftermarket free flow exhaust pipes
New rear tires. Needs brake work, the left front will lock up if you jam on the brakes.
$2,200 . Text me at 620-380-1769 for questions.
I will post some pics as soon as i can figure out how.
