One of the rarest parts for the early T3 went up for sale this morning on
The Samba.com. It's an early dash pad in NOS condition. There are a few people with deep pockets lurking in the classifieds so it's not going to last long...it sure was nice to see. The price is 1000 Euro without shipping charges. Used ones often go for $800, so I can imagine this will not last too long.
Gives me hope that when it comes time to finish my car, there will be one out there...somewhere. It's also interesting to see the box it came in...I don't know that I've ever seen one.
311 857 205A or 311 857 205C - the two part numbers it could be...it's not listed in the ad.
It's nice to see those rare parts come out in the classifieds every now and then, makes me wish I had deep pockets too. But like you said when it's time for a restoration, maybe then I can get some of those parts.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed that my new friends in Germany will have one when I'm ready to make the plunge.
