Possible New GL Project?
 

Well, I just found out about this EBay auction yesterday for a right hand
drive '62 Notch with 4 1/2" Fuch wheels front & Deep 6 Fuch wheels rear.
(About $2300 in wheels alone)

So this morning the auction was ending & I decided to bid and ended up in
a bidding war with 2 or 3 other guys. I figured worst case scenario, I would
bid up to $2300 (the value of the wheels), but no higher. Well I ended up
winning the auction for $2275 :cool:

So Im thinking Ive always wanted a set of 4 1/2" fuchs and was planning
on using Fuchs on my Cal Look ragtop Im building, so I could keep the Fuchs
and feel good that I bought a Notch (which I was gonna buy anyways)
and got the Fuchs for free... or

I could sell the Fuchs and get a Notch for Free (seeing as I was gonna
buy my brothers Notch anyways) And this Notch would be pretty cool
GL Project seeing as it is right hand drive and already set up for Porsche
Wheels... or

If the Notch doesnt turn out to be a good GL/resto candidate, I could always
sell the 62 Notch and probably get the Fuchs for Free to put on my ragtop
bug and stil buy my Brothers Notch...

decisions, decisions, decisions

I will wait until I pick up the car to make them of course :D

What can I say, its a sickness!

Really Joe, you don't need the notch.
You should keep the wheels and find the notch a new home. You've already got lots of cool projects to work on... somewhere there is someone dying to get their hands on a notch to build... possibly someone in Tennessee who loves GL... ;)

Well that is a possibility... though I wont be making any desicions until
I see the car in person :)

Seriously, I think I may need help. The only thing stopping me from buying
even more VWs then I already do, is me being limited by my funds. I think
if I had Jerry Seinfelds money I would have even more VWs then he has
Porsches. Plus I would have some of his Porsches thrown in for good measure :D

Its anyone wants to start a support group, we could call it Volksaholics Anonymous :banghead:

Well, if you do decide to sell it, you've got my number.

You don't need anymore projects anyway :D And you don't want to hassle with taking it all the way to Tenn. :D

Who said he had to deliver? :laugh:

I don't know if I should start to sqeeze in a shot for the Notch or get in line for the support group. With 2 Ghias, 3 bugs and a Bus on my property right now. I think I need the suport group more than a Notch.




But it is right hand drive :bawling:

If my wife sees this thread, you might not hear from me for a while. Even joking around about buying another project could be hazardous to my health!
Just days away from getting in our new house...

I can relate to that, thats probably one of the reasons why Im not
married any more... :laugh:

Well I just found out my 61 Rag will be here next Wed as well... :D

I got to get some of my cars sold to make some room for my new girls :banghead:

What would "Volksaholics Anonymous" say about this roster of cars?...

1947 Split-window, 1951 Split-window, 1952 Zwitter, 1953 Zwitter, 1955 Oval-window, 1956 Slide roof Oval, 1957 Slide roof Oval, and a 1959 Hardtop Dropped headlight Ghia.

He's trying to get all the 50's, he's only missing a 1950, and a 1954. Anyone selling one or the other, or both? ;)

I have to say, they're not mine. Although I do help build and maintain them. :cool:

I noticed you didnt mention a 58? I have a 58 rag project for sale :)

I wasn't very specific when I said 50's I meant '57 and down. More or less. MAYbe 58', and a 59'. I doubt he'd go that far for a '58. All the cars he has now we all found with in a 5 hour drive from his house, the '47, '51, '52, and '55 were all bought from the same guy, less than 30 minutes away from his house. They're hard to find, but they are out there. :p He has driven to FL before, pulling cars, but he doesn't think he'll do that again. I would in my Ghia though. :rolleyes:

picking up the Notch on Wedneday....hopefully it will be in good shape :)

:clap: :cool:

Here is a teaser for you guys :D
