No, that's why it's in this thread. 
I noticed the ad says "Pending" now.
Sorry, I don't believe it if the price was really $130,000 US or 130,000 Euro |
I think the same seller had a fairly unmolested '50 split for sale earlier this month for 48,000 Euro. It sold quickly. |

Yes, I see that and you are correct.
Ad title:
VW August 1950 first owner 36.000Kms (22.500Miles )
I think a '50 is worth more than a '57?

This car has been posted for quite a while, I'm wondering if he has any idea why it hasn't sold? Aside from being overpriced, it's not finished, what has been done is pretty much going to only suit his own taste, and he says it's never had any work done and doesn't need any, can he not see how mangled that front clip is? Over 40,000 views too, it's probably safe to say that it's time tocome down on the price a bit.

He must be, plus lots of other hallucinogens. Check his $1600 ad for FIBERGLASS fender skirts. When my husband and I visited this guy for other parts, all he did was brag. Needless to say, we ended up not buying anything due to his attitude. The look on his face was priceless when he saw the car we drive in. |

Not a bad deal if it's as good as they says.

I wonder if it's really a 1954. The gas tank certainly isn't.

No wire cover tabs, the routing of the hood release cable and the wire loom tabs in the spare tire we'll show that it's at least a pre '55 front clip. Maybe an April 1955 according to the body number though. Still worth it if you need the whole clip. Long road trip for me but would love to find one in the southwest.
