Do I hear $1200?
The eBay Motors auction for our 1993 Volkswagen Fox budget racer, along with spares and a Golf parts car, ends today.
Having participated in both a 24 Hours of Lemons event at Barber and a ChampCar Endurance Series race at Daytona, we decided it was best to part ways with the VW so we can better focus on our V6 Miata and our LS-swapped 350Z.
The car is fully prepared to compete in the 24 Hours of Lemons, though it could be competitive in other inexpensive racing series. The auction started at only $0.99 but has gone up to—at the time of writing this—$1175.
The auction ends tonight at 9 p.m., so this is your last chance to bid and potentially win one of the greatest race cars ever assembled.
Don’t have enough space in your driveway? You're more than welcome to follow along to see how much our little VW goes for.

A reminder that Challenge registration has opened.
JUUUUST outside of challenge budget. I was commenting last night when it was at 1200 that there was more than 1200 in wing on the car. Not to mention everything else.
Whoever got this got a steal.
In reply to Robbie (Forum Supporter) :
I was considering it for wing, wheels and seats. I know some VW peeps that could've used some of the suspension and brake bits, but I pretty much decided that I couldn't bring myself to strip it and didn't want to list the chassis as logbooked and ready for all the things for $500 and to have it sitting around forever, slowly turning to dust, waiting on someone with a rollback to come purchase it.

More like $100 for the wings (assuming each one is less than 30"), and I wouldn't be surprised if the mounts were only another $200 or so.

I don't understand... those sure look the width of the car (even the front one is mentioned to be for a miata, which I'm sure we can look up the width and price on NLR website), so I'm guessing those wings are more like 60-72 inches wide.
Even if you had a good way to connect them at the center, that's still $200-250 in cutoffs (assuming the front wing is 3 and the rear is 2 top 2 bottom). Before you get into End plates, mounts, and gurneys.

Huh. Maybe a Fox is wider than I give them credit for.
Wow some one got a deal. I was thinking that was going to get a lot more.
