[Vwdiesel] car for sale

I can't understand why you people back east will put thousands of dollars into repairing a rusted out hulk when there are good cars out west that end up going to the crusher. I have two 1981 Rabbit diesels that I would sell for $1000. A person living back east could fly out here, rent a large U Haul truck & a tow dolly one way, put one Rabbit in the truck & the other on the tow dolly & you could make one good Rabbit from the two & still have a good frame to build up another Rabbit.  If you did that, you would probably be out a total of $3000 to build up two Rabbits. These comments do not apply to some rare numbers matching muscle car or other rare car such as a Cord but do apply to the average collector car. I used to live in Minn. so I know what rust can do to a car. 
What I have observed is that interior upholstery will often survive in the rust belt but is ruined by the heat & sun out here in the west.
