    I thought this was really cool and worth sharing.

    If it's exactly like the one pictured and has no mechanical issues, it's worth anywhere from $4000 on up. Most Cabs like the one linked to are selling between $7000 and $13000.

    Look closely. It's been partially repainted. Well done, but repainted nonetheless.

    Wow. My cabriolet is the exact ugly sister to this car. 6X the miles but the same color interior, dash, top, wheels, everything. That is uncanny.

    Yea. Also, I didn't think they came with color matched bumpers.

    But, I could be wrong

    I saw that one when I was browsing ebay the other day looking for parts cars. Looks nice, but it's a pity that the padding on the top edge of the door interiors is cracked, almost as badly as in my 32 year old, 190K mile, parked in the California sun for most of its life car. I am gradually giving up hope that I'll ever find an intact set of those things for my car

    Yep, you're wrong.

    Color-matched metal bumpers came standard on:

    Ummmm...maybe somebody else's '83 Wolfie, but certainly not mine. Hell, even the photo at the top of the page you cite shows the earlier car with plain old bumpers.

    Sheesh.

    My apologies... I mistyped. For the WEs, 1984 only; the '83 WE bumpers weren't painted.

    And the white WE at the top of that page is an '86/'87, NOT an '83 or an '84.

    Every time I try to give some input, I get the smack down by the Kamz.

    Yeah, but this time he admitted a slight error......so you shouldn't feel too badly about it.
