Some interesting cars coming up for action in Garnet Valley PA Friday.
(I want the 69 Beetle Conv.)
Scroll down for what for what looks like an abandoned 73 e3 project with D-Jet injection installed.
VIN: 3106116 USA spec car.
Alas, I have neither the time or room for another project and I'll be putting my e3 up for sale soon.
I would be curious to know if it has original 4 speed or 5 speed upgrade maybe??
Body looks good, if underside is too it would make a worthwhile project.
Wonder were are the rest on the parts are?
Scroll down to the misc. parts up for auction and I think I see the windshield.
Auction estimate of $500- $1000 would be a steal just in parts alone
Someone here needs to buy this
Anyone? Bueller?

Cool stuff. If I read that right, 23% commission on internet bidding is a little steep.

E3 didn't come with a 5sp

you can barely make out the shift pattern on the dash. so yeah, it's a manual 4...

VIN tells us it is a US spec with a manual trans. US spec e3s didn’t come with D-jet injection either. This one was obviously upgraded with DJet. I was wishing out loud that maybe they upgraded the trans as well.

How did this play out? Is there somewhere to see what things went for? The MGA was a deal as well!
