New guy to the VW world and wanting to build a rail and while searching for a parts car i came across a bug sittin in a lean to and left the guy a note to call me if he was interested in selling. He called today and says its a super beetle with Air conditioning and wants 2500 for the thing with no motor. Is this guy nuts or is there such a thing.

Yep. Dealers added it on to alot of the later ones. I think even came factory on some , too.
But 2500 is pretty strong, especially with no motor. I wouldnt give 2500 for a dozen superbeetles. Only thing good on it for a buggy IMO is rear torsion assembly, shift rod, steering shaft for the swivels, some misc small junk, and front rotors (if it even is late enough to have rotors).

the steering box,the strongest one u can buy,but not 2500 dollars worth

$2500 is way to much unless it is a convertible that is not rusted. The AC was made in Texas by DPD and dealer installed. Lots of fun changing the #4 plug.

Thanks for the input, is a parts car even worth having?
I just thought if i could find something for 500 bucks
it might be worth it to have just miscellaneous stuff layin
around to save me few trips and headaches.

Even at $500 (your first post states 2500). If you live close to Afterburnt he has a much better deal on a standard beetle.

its afterburnt not afterburner but hey same concept have something to do with fire
