'66 Choptop Bug for sale

Chop Suey is up for sale. I've moved on to my new toy and lost interest in it. I've got about $800 cash and over 120 hours of labor in the bodywork. I'll take $700 cash, but I'm keeping the wheels. This is not a ratrod chop. It has been fully welded and straightened. Minimal bondo was used. Doors line up and operate nicely. Roof graft is from a late model sunroof bug, so it has a factory sunroof. Interior is still fully functional; ie, headliner and carpet rails were saved and remounted. The roof and main body are 90% finished. The front hood and fenders are decent, but will need some work. I have a chopped safety glass windshield and plexi-glass 1/4 and rear windows for it.
I'm also including a single port 1600 that has a bad valve guide. I drove the motor home 3 weeks ago in my '62. It runs, but needs an overhaul.

I bolted on the fenders just to show them.

I've got several boxes of parts that come with the car.

If you're interested, PM me or give me a call. 530-575-7617 Eric

That thing looks so much better than when you picked it up. Nice work my friend.

This mild chop is very well done. I'd roll it, but too many cars right now. This is a case where lowering really enhanced the looks.

I think this is one for Cliff.

Hell yes. Primer black with a lot of pin striping.

This is killing me what happened to the old girl. Sell, trade for a VR6 nitro engine, 3 turbo's

4 turbos.

Chop Suey moved to her new home today. Bill (VR6 Dragster) Eserini bought her to build an extended beam fenderless rat rod. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

Very cool. Should be sweet!

Congrats to both. I look forward to seeing it too. Those things kind of grow on you!!!

Good deal. I'm sure it will be sweet.

Great did you get a pic of the transfer to put on the garage wall. Now you have room for more
