I paid $300 for a complete rust free drivers side a few years back.

Yes, the rear seats have the original tears.

And the seats look over-stuffed.
Keeping those things in mind it doesn't seem way off the mark for what ovals are selling for.

Check these prices. I think I could easily get $75,000 for my Oval....Of course, and I know these are just asking prices and what they sell for may be not even close blah blah blah.
But I think that it's interesting to see such inflated prices ascribed to the lowly air cooled line. Of course they will never sell at such ridiculously inflated prices.

1956 3 fold rag with semaphore Price: 35k
That doesn't look like a '56 to me.
35K for a "1993 restoration, need to be redone" ?
"matching numbers , 1641 dual carbs " Huh ?
And the best part : "Before u offer do ur homework" |

| I need to be a little reserved since my Oval is listed, but $35k for that car is ridiculous |
