It could technically be a late 64 with pull knobs but the front apron and cowl say 65 to me. |

The best part about his crazy prices is that he also lowballs others when buying stuff.

Gee. If I can buy this for $5500:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1921626
Why on Earth would i want to pay $15,000 for this:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1921466
Here's the money shot that you have to hunt for on the Photobucket link, too:
Oh, but wait... it's "near mint"... 
C'mon, people. get a clue. They're CHEAP! The hell of it is that both ads are right next to each other.

He just posted that for sale on Facebook, I asked if it was still FI and he didnt answer, I guess I know why now.
15k for that is INSANE.

But... but... but... it's a "Near Mint Awesome car, original bumper to bumper." If that's true, it's really rare since that carburetor hack is an original, and all... must be some rare (not well done) prototype.

Maybe he meant that if you buy it, it comes with a pack of mints?
Im going to start my own breath freshener company called Nearly Mints.

WTF???
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1921945
Everything that could possibly be downgraded here has been... right down to the entire incorrect interior, engine, 4 lug, one piece windows... and they're asking $17.5
Its time for Paint – Its losing its luster w areas of fading. Some may sand and clear the exterior in its current stage but best left for the new owner to decide its future color. A small golf ball size dent on very bottom of front lower fender.  
I'm seeing $5K tops... and I still wouldn't buy it because it'd be thousands to even begin to put everything right.

Do you think it'll suck in the bellows boot since it doesn't appear to have a clamp?
I also wonder if the door panels double as padding for a side impact - they look about 2" thick. |

I don't normally post here but I don't understand WTF is going on here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1922291
Three ads posted for the same car and the price keeps going up? Should be going the other way with that 16cc engine. Sure I may miss-spell words but going 3 for 3 in ads? Seller's after that kind of $$ and you have many mistakes in your ad, maybe your car has the same? like 5000 of them. Steven, fix your shit.

What's the over/under trade value on a 1963 pile of rust with 4 lug front, 5 lug rear, wrong seats and a 0% chance of being saved?
$300? |

Big button glove box is 63, no?
I initially thought it was a 64 based on the fenders but given all of the other wrong parts (like the hood), I looked for other signs...like the glove box button. Of course that could have been swapped too...can't really read the tag they posted with the VIN |

I can't tell from the ad either. There is so much stuff that is wrong...
The vin tag even has phillips screws so even if you could read it, it might be swapped too!
