Lets take a bunch of pictures at night with a bunch of crap piled on the car and ask top dollar for it... i know he is a new user but put a little effort into it for crist sake.. this ad screams.. I found this car in someones driveway and bought it for 2k now i'm trying to make a quick buck. |

| For an 8 month only tail light delivered to the US, they are pretty hard to find. For an NOS set? I think that's pretty on the mark. It is easy to have over $1000 in parts that need to be restored with these tail lights. Granted, the only buyer for those will be for a nicely restored car. The missing bulb holders is kind of a bummer though. |

The only thing that is not original in the car are the rear fenders and the 36 hp motor everything is original to the car. |
Nice car but a curious definition of "original."

I agree. Rear seat and door panels look original to the car. Front seats are 54-55.

He also only paid $10,000 for the car and doubled the price without touching it. That car was for sale on here for $11,000 obo by the previous owner in North Carolina. |

That engine looks to have a bunch of the "correct" parts on it.
Hard to say if they are junk though due to rust damage. |
There's an edit since the original post which said 25hp |

Early 1956 model year engine, which explains the later style gas tank...

This one again, 50k original miles on the wrong speedometer, and it's obviously a project. You can buy a really nice running and driving oval for $15k...

It's definitely had some me crappy work done over the years. I spoke with the guy a while back and he seemed like a nice guy, just unrealistic on his price. |

| I love original paint. I study original paint. This http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2022210 is not original paint. If you want to sell something and list it that way...put in the time to strip it back. It's a ton of work...it's nerve racking. $650 for some shitty rattle can oxide primer spray. You could of at least taken the time to degrease the under side? |

If that price is a typo he typed it wrong twice. Please let this be a double typo.
