FS:Project: 78 rocco. Possible Cheapass Ron special

[Brian McGarvey <brianm@zbt62.eastnet.gatech.edu>]

Hey yall.
Found a mk1 out in San Diego. on rec.autos.makers.vw.watercooled
It been stored for 10+ years and requires towing ... like most Cheapass
Ron (tm) Specials. It sounds like this guy is having to get rid of it..
wife wanting out of the garage cause it's been there 10+ years. He says he
can prolly get it to KS for reasonable then somebody could go get it from
KS - Cinci until the new owner comes and gets it.

All this poping stuff around is making me think that we need a system for
moving cars around the country. Since we love our roccos maybe Cheapass
Ron (tm) Could come up with system ie: a remove the rear bumper attach tow
hitch, remove fron bumper attach tow hitch and pooof instant rocco
towing Cheapass Ron (tm) Special rocco. (DUnno how hard it is to R&R
bumpers..)

Please resond to the email below.

RE:  1979 Scirrocco
     I bought this Scirrocco with the intent of making it perfect.  I
put in new:   generator, water
pump, timing belt, transmission, clutch, radiator, rack and pinion,
belts and hoses, muffler, catalytic
converter, total brakes, bearings, CV joints, lots of suspension parts.
I took out the air conditioner.
     I haven't started the engine for ten years.  I did drive it for a
few weeks before I started the
restoration and as of then the engine was running fine.  This car will
need to be towed wherever. . . it's a project at this point, not
something you could drive to work tomorrow.  The engine has 165,000
miles on it, but I was planning to rebuild it anyway.
     There is essentially no rust.  There is a very small dent in the
right front wheel well.  Ten years
ago, I deliberately went out and bought a car with a good body, because
I knew I could fix everything else.
     The car is gray and red interior.
     I'm located in San Diego.  I do, of course, have the title to the
car.  I have a friend out here that
I've known since childhood who transports cars back to Kansas City all
the time, so I might be able to arrange a good deal on car transport.
     I'm not sure what this car is worth.  I'm not trying to be coy, and
I'm not going to try to wring the last dollar out of this.  My wife
wants it out of the garage, so what can I do.  I just don't know what
it's worth:  I guess best offer.
