This is pretty goddamn cool... If I were into old VWs I'd probably be strongly considering buying it right now, seems like the perfect accessory piece to an old Bug or bus.

It is a $300 car it can be a cabrio for $20 worth of saws-all blades and a tarp.

Corvette is technically FMR, C4s can be had for well under $15k, and with an aluminum LS would be under 2200lbs.

The sawzall only got it down to 2400, but an aluminum LS on top of that will do it.

The car probably still had a copper rad and A/C too

I don't really think mid engine is a deal breaker. Lots of RWD coupes under 15K that don't need a poo poo ton of bracing to handle the way you want.

Buying a convertible to turn into a coupe is dumb and a waste of money imo.

That is some awesome VW kit. I'd rock it, but I don't have $5k and an ACVW to match. I wish I were clever enough with sheet metal to reproduce that, it looks like there's dimple-died ribs that go up the inner corners to provide bracing for the roof and rounded edges.

If I lived close, I'd buy the poo poo out of that. Also "Theft alarm system is not working." Translation, they got tired of it waking them up in the middle of the night so they took it out, which is a completely legit fix for those.

It was more tongue in cheek but the more I think about it the more I like it to the point that I'm getting concerned

I'm thinking about tossing out a lowball on this though since it's been across the street from me for months and why not if I can get it for like 5500 or less. But if a couple thousand more gets me a retardo 300zx in great cosmetic condition with an engine that my company mechanics are incredibly familiar with...

I would drive the hell out of it on a dry surface where there's nothing to run into or off of when my inexperience and snap oversteer make me spin out. I wouldn't buy a swap, but it seems like a fun alternative to a Miata / Mazdaspeed. Everything I've read (from when I was considering one) says it's extremely fun even with the 1ZZ.

A Pontiac solstice coupe is just a touch over 3,000 Lbs and in Turbo form is 260 horseys. This is all I have for sub 15k coupes but it is no where near 2200 lbs. Lotus is only thing close. My gut would have to be movable to my side for that to work.

Why do people feel they need to post an excuse why they are selling a car? It is for sale because I want money more then this car.

I ask the owner of every car I've bought why they're selling. They could give you bs of course but its just another step in feeling out the seller.

Especially since that's in MA (I'm guessing by the 978 area code somewhere in the North Shore) where that much Sq/ft in a house or condo would easily cost 10 times what that camper costs.

Yep, Lowell specifically.

Also, as of a year and a half ago it looks like it was not yet for sale. https://goo.gl/maps/Job75mxHXL12

You can get your license pulled for repeated episodes of Diabetic seizures. Usually due to people who have sudden severe reaction to hypoglycemia resulting in seizures. This is similar to epileptics who face identical driving and licensure suspensions.
