Default Free box of 356 A parts

Hello,
I had a 1958 356A coupe for many years, and then sold it in 2006. I just came across a box of parts for it, and will happily give them to someone who can use them.

I live in Ithaca, NY. If anyone is interested, and will be in the area sometime, let me know.

Here is what is in the box (used except as noted)
  • New axle boot (might be for a VW Beetle)
  • New oil filter
  • 2 front directional lights
  • Various (I think) exhaust pipes parts and clamps
  • Side view mirror
  • The rear light that sits below the license plate
  • A few random interior parts like pedal covers and heat vent.

Mike, I am so sorry, I just now checked this. If you mean THIS Mon-Tues (July 23-24) then I could leave them out for you. Trying to figure out how to send a PM on the mobile platform of this site to give you details.

Thanks for the note. Yes, I was just there, but now back home. It wasn’t meant to be. Maybe another enthusiast can take the parts. Super nice gesture, too bad we couldn’t figure it out.

I was under the impression that he wanted them picked up. No shipping. Otherwise this would have been a done deal

I don’t make decisions based on impressions. Or advice. I take in the available information and then I make my own decisions. If kapusta decides that he would like some green in exchange for sending one of his kids to the post office to ship a box of parts, he has every right to make his own decisions too.

Dont you think?

Wait... I HAVE KIDS?!?!?!

If I decide to take the 30 minutes to pack up and ship the stuff, I'll probably take another 30 minutes to find out what any of it is worth.

I might just do that when I have some free time in a couple weeks. But until then, if someone showed up at my door and they seemed like decent folk, I'd just give it to them.

I just need to figure out how to get notifications when someone responds.

Yep. No good deed goes unpunished. There definitely is value to the parts and your intent is great. I’ll pay you to NOT send it to the GT3 fanboi above.
