He's looking for around $231,000 like the one that sold at auction in Monaco.
FOR SALE: 'VW-Schwimmwagen'
1943 Schwimmwagen. Fully restored with all optional equipment.
It has not been put in the water but there is no doubt in my mind that it is water ready.
The only incorrect thing on the car are the wheels and tires, but they look great. The engine is a 25 HP engine with a 36 HP carburetor.
The car has won every car show that it has been entered in since the restoration was completed a few years ago.
Complete Kettenkrad or Ferrari would be considered as partial trade

Lamas are big business these days I guess ;) |

| Not worth a quarter of the asking price. |

Did he tell you that, or is that just a postulate? |

Told me that, I don't know how serious he is.
Lot of people with money in the world who don't know value. |

He was asking $135K 6 months ago, this week just put in market.
Vehicle has not original motor. Someone has stamped VIN in a reproduction VIN label. VIN on chassis/dash area is missing. Body number is re-stamped also. Hope this helps. |

I've talked to him at the CT VW shows. The schwimm is pretty nice, but I think he is living with Alice in mushroom land when it comes to what he thinks that thing is actually worth.
The market of course will tell....
He has 2 of them I think.... |

Yes, this fellow has two. I believe one or both were restored by David Crompton.

He does have two. He consulted heavily with Dave C on the restos but told me he did them himself. |
