I see the beast's on eBay now. NW'ers'll snag it surely, even if it's a basket-case.
I've got an '84 in much better shape, with under 100k on it, that I picked up from a driveway in Memphis. Zero rust; just needs a repaint, and it's better than a $5,000 TDI-equipped high-mileage golf, jetta, or bug! God bless old diesel dubs!
If you get more than $300 for it, you're doing alright. Nobody wants to gamble with a non-running engine these days, and it looks like you've got some substantial water-damage inside; leaking seals are a pain to deal with, too!
