Even the best football teams have punters on the roster. Why? Because no matter how good a team is at gaining ground, the time will inevitably come when the best decision involves kicking the ball to the other team and start fresh on their next possession.
That’s why we’ve made the tough decision to punt our Volkswagen Fox to the opposite …

Well played.
Damn you bastards. It's already to $11.50. Berking rich mofos.
Text from a friend of mine just now:
I asked my wife if I should place a $15 bid just for fun and she said “No because you might actually win it”
I kinda want to see it shipped to Germany to see if JG fan manage a sub 10 minute lap of the Ring in it.
Bids $20.21, no dice.
In reply to Tom Suddard :
If I literally win it for $69, I'll laugh hysterically.
Serious question, what are the size and offset of the Koenigs?
found it 15x7 (which should be between ET 25-35)
I have an Audi 5 cylinder engine/016 transmission/Quantum Syncro rearend that needs to be in a Fox.
The lack of title is troublesome for Ohio; if it's a car it needs a title.
....aaaaaand I'm outbid. 
Not that I NEED any more cars or anything.
In reply to captdownshift (Forum Supporter) :
They're 15x7. Not sure on exact offset, but they're meant for a Miata.
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
That would be super cool!
Dang, $560? Too rich for my blood.
GLWS.

It said $610 for me. Weird.
edit: There was an $800 bid that was retracted.
I know there's almost a week to go, but I'd like to throw out there that if I get a second-chance win with my paltry bid, I'll have a FS thread to sell off a bunch of stuff. And beg someone to stash it for me until I can figure a way to bring it home. And realizing more and more this is a bad idea.
No good time ever started with a smart idea, did it?

The bidding has gone nuts. It's like Pebble Beach.
I have no problem storing everything for a few months as long as it's paid for. The Golf will sit outside, but I promise that won't make it any worse than it already is.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Well, the car does have documented racing provenance

Wait, there's a Golf?
*bids $3000*
Of course there's a Golf! It's included in the sale.
With snowflakes and mk2 fender flares.

No, you can't save it: It's too rusty.
Serious question: does it have enough frame to be considered "OEM equivalent section" for challenge purposes? (#askingforafriend)

Just so you don't feel too bad, a five cylinder engine won't fit. An ABA has about an inch of extra clearance.
In reply to sleepyhead the buffalo :
I think so? I haven't looked it over that closely. I think it's perfectly safe to drive, but there are holes in the tailgate and quarter panels.
Not sure about other states, but it is not hard to get a title on a car older than 25 years old in Florida.

One of my friends did it in a '77 Fox.
He did not want to extend the nose, I have no such qualms. He also did not want to use hood pins. It was very tight.

so, with what I have in mind... those aren't much of an issue, potentially beneficial (why you ruin klassik!?). although, I'm not super interested in the Fox. Also... I probably can't take delivery of anything until... probably August 5th-ish. so, if somebody wants the Fox, and is keen to offload the Golf. I might be your Buffalo.
