I have a chance to buy a 64 bug that looks beautiful,, it has a bunch of original stuff on there and is indeed being sold by the original owner who brought the bug over from germany in 64. (I don't know why they didn't go to a local dealer.) It is a black plate CA car and it really looks like it spent most of it's time in the garage. The seller says it's original paint, and it's pretty shiny too! It was started 2 weeks ago and driven around the block.
What's it worth? I don't usually come across barn finds. -Robert Attached thumbnail(s)

Beetles are like 914 in regards to hell holes and hidden rust. You need to look at the whole car inside out and under. If the battery is under the rear seat then that is where the hell hole originates and the floor pan on the passenger side behind the passenger seat. Easier to fix than in a 914 though.
If they haven't driven it for a while then it could be an accident ready to happen. Hoses are old and prone to leaks, especially the fuel line in the engine compartment. If it is a matching numbers car then it could be worth 9.5K but only if it is perfect and has been serviced regularly with records. All the accessories would have to operate perfectly also, heat, fresh air, windows. I would say 9.5 is kinda steep but he could get that on the Samba. The higher value bugs are ovals and split windows now and don't even get me started on the buses. |
