Nice Manx. My buddy has a Manx body. But he drove out of state to get it. He won't sell it.

This bug was one of those "Not for Sale' cars. My buddy with the Manx tried to buy it for years (He's a big time VW guy) I had asked about it and was told no.

Then the owner died. I knew him. He was a cool guy. But now the house is going up for sale. The family has to get all the stuff out of it. I bought it off the nephew. He just wants everything gone. I didn't even ask. He came over and told me $200 and I couldn't pass on that. He's selling everything. I'm going to buy some tools from him. He wants to get rid of this stuff and go back to Florida. He just keeps throwing me deals.

My VW buddy is going to be pissed that I snagged it.

I can't make him too mad. I'd like to have him help me get it running. He's the guru on VW's. So I can't rub it in too hard.
