How about non-existant.

I know of two people that have them, and a third that is missing a piece

however
Steve Langford has re-made the rack, no holes to drill, and has been selling them for something like $250

You bet they are rare. I'm still kicking myself for not buying one when I first bought the car.

Yes they were VW kits and cost about 250 to 300 DM (in Germany in '87/88 ).

I somehow remember them in an aluminum finish. I can't remember if the ski attacment was a seperate purchase for them or not.

I strongly recommend that you keep it and only sell it with the car.

thanks phil,
how much would it add to the value of the car, it might affect my valuation policy for insurance.

i love the sound of a ski attachment got any piccies of that

it is aluminium but with rubbery kind of feeling matt black paint,

ive got some freinds down this wkend, 1 in a campaign and the other a helios blue cab, i gonna get some wkd threesome photos and post them up sunday watch out for the thread...

Gee since it is detachable from the car, I wouldn't think it would affect the value of the car (at least that's how the insurance from here would look at it). Where I think it would bring the value is the fact that it is very good condition and so is your car. That would just be the "little extra" come sale time.

I wouldn't even try to guess the value, but I just bought a roof rack for my MK IV Golf and that was $250 (CDN). I guess you could ask that much for it.

Just the same, I'd keep it if I were you, I does help when you go on those trips.

nice rack! (last time I said that i got slapped twice, by the woman walking down the street and my fiancee, even though I was talking about my kayak rack......)

Looks like it might accept thule rectangluar bar attachments / accessories.

wanna sell it? I would love to take my 17' sea kayaks on the roof of my cabby!

Steve opened his own Graphics and Sign store here in Corpus Christi. He does the VW stuff a little here and there on the side too. He is doing well. His son had a 90 raddo with a 2.0 Turbo... got into a wreck (not his fault) got all tore up though. he is doing ok.
