Not a whine, but just an observation...these may qualify for the top ten list of the worst ad photos ever. Can't decide if it was intentional or not, but I can't envision even any toy camera found in the bottom of a Cracker Jack box taking this bad quality of image.

Wow, 23k? Sorry, but they should have cut back on all those gaudy accessories, and put the correct interior in it with non overstuffed seats.  Even if it did have the correct interior, 23k is a pipe dream.

Gotta love how they used chrome trim on the wrong door panels lol. That car is beyond hideous, but, you can have this gem for $10,000, and his price is firm. LOL

Indeed, now it's skirting the good deals thread. A sunroof graft and a J-bugs interior reversal is all it needs.

Lol, no way, that car needs the correct 58-59 only interior and it would be a nice car, depending on what rust issues it may have. If the rust is minimal, that actually might not be a bad deal, just a lot of little detail work. |

It reminds me of those photos of patina bugs that are ALWAYS photoshopped. Like someone will fall in love with how well their car photoshops. Not the reality of the car. Like the fact that it's a POS covered in rust. Hell any photoshopped picture sucks for that matter. I don't need to see how well your car looks in black and white for christ sake! I need to see how it looks in real life.
On another note. My afternoon observation:
"Pick a color. Any color.....AS LONG AS IT'S ORIGINAL!"
Wanna ruin the resale value of your bug? Paint it another color. (I gotta stop ranting about this. I was just bitching about this like two weeks ago. But damn, so many cars that otherwise would be a real grab. Yet they are one or another shade of shit.) Don't get me started on the Chip Fuse (sp?) two tone trend. All I can think of is how many grand is that going to cost to fix!
Rant off.  |

16,000 original miles on a modified AND newly rebuilt engine? Yeah, ok. lol The price is beyond insane as well. I get that true right hand drives don't come up often, but it's not an oval window, or even an early big window for that matter...

I don't really see RHD as a selling point. Unless your selling it overseas to someone where they drive on the left side of the road. Seems like they stay up on for sale sections alot longer. Who would want one in the US? I don't get it. |
