ItzaME Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Found out I had off Friday, so made a move '68 converted into an '82 low mileage 3.0 liter air cooled.. tons of receipts, including 5k just for a sunroof install.. Lets just say I got it for ~half my budget so it was perfect example of what I was looking for. The hard part of the build is pretty much complete. Nowhere near perfect by all means, could use a new paint job after some body work is touched up, but I'd rate it a 7/10 due to few stress cracks. Old fuse box/wiring will be updated and finishing interior is also on the list. Runs and drives great for an almost 50 year old car. Was a very wealthy mans car that was being built for his son that went off to college and then traded in a 6+ car trade to the guy I bought it from. Should have took some pics of his other toys Lol.. If for some reason I decide to sell it along the way, I should have no problem making my money back if not easily make profit on it.. Thanks for all the support :gabe: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c321/minyskater/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpshxeklvsl.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c321/minyskater/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpswqtabj98.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Alex- Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Why would a '68 be converted to an '82? Am I wrong in thinking it'd be worth more in the original '68 trim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItzaME Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Why would a '68 be converted to an '82? Am I wrong in thinking it'd be worth more in the original '68 trim? Nope your right but its all depending on when the conversion was done and who was doing it. I personally was looking for the newer wide look but original trim does fetch pretty pennys also.

RyM3rC Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Aftermarket sunroof?!? How odd, they probably spend more on the conversion than just buying an SC would have been LOL. Congrats on tracking down a cheap aircooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIEF Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm awaiting until geeto gets in here and gives us the history of a 68 and a 82. Then explains financially why this was a good or bad move. To be finished up by explaining how a portion of the money spent on the sunroof swap landed in the hands of ISIS. Until then, nice pickup! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
