Another lister recently purchased a very complete '68 Mk3 parts car for
about $350-$375. It included two working transmissions (one rebuilt), two
engines and a steel hardtop. It also had a recently stripped and painted
frame and lots of new suspension bits. He kept the engines and most of the
small bits and sold me the rest for $300. We're both happy. Good luck with
your decision.
Best wishes,
