The chassis nimber for this car is 166770
Is that a correct number for a split 1950?!
Advice please _________________ - Split De luxe 1950

That would be a may 1950 one.
But why donīt you look it up yourself?

Body number 115196 is also May 50 so that ties up. I cannot read the vin plate clearly - what does it say int he top left box - that might tell you whether it is a deluxe or not - it says 11 but are there any other letters after 11?
The engine is definitely not the original as has a bolt in generator stand.
There is a load of work to do on the car so maybe make an offer of about $4k to reflect that - parts for this will set you back a lot of money - trust me I am experienceing the pain for mine a May 1950 engine block (just the block with nothing in it or on it) could set you back $1k, popes nose $3-500 rear lights a few hundred... you get the picture...
Good luck, Dave |

I tried my best with seller but couldn't move him less that 5 k. I am going to buy it later today.

Good luck. As for buying parts, it depends what you need - most parts can be found from advertisers or private sellers here on the Samba. Keep the thread going and you'll be able to highlight parts you are missing more specifically and hopefully people can point you inthe right direction. Klassic fab, autocraft, wolf and Mika Virtanen do some excellent repro panels but are not the only options.
Cheers,
Dave |

I am working on my list that I have to get: so far the following: would really appreciate it if anyone here either add some items or advise me to cancel one or more and work on what is there already:
1- head lights
2- rear lights ( r those in the pic correct?!)
3- bumpers ( r those in the pic correct?!)
4- deck lid nose
5- rims r 15", do I have to get the 16" one?!
6- semaphores
7- steering wheel ( r those in the pic correct?!)
If anyone can suggest any place or ad that is selling any of those items or others that I need with a competitive price , please pass it on! Thanks _________________ - Split De luxe 1950

I am not so sure about that |
Iīm not sure also.
There is a trim hole visible at the front hood where the paint is off.
There seems to be a trim hole visible at the door where the surface is cracked. There are trim frames around the glove boxes and the pods.
The pods switches, the e-brake tip, the interior light are white.
Trim around the windshield.
Looks all to be black overpainted deluxe stuff and closed trim holes all around. _________________ Master of my domain! |
