 Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:48 am Post subject: NOS Deluxe split bus side trim... value?? |
 |
|
| Im thinking about selling my NOS deluxe side and bumper trim, but have no idea what its worth. Its all wrapped in its vw wrapping with part numbers. I bought it years ago for a project that got sold, but kept the trim 'just in case' I got another split, but there's no way I can afford one now, so looking at selling it on. Any ideas? |

Pictures please!
What do you mean by side trims? Sill/rocker trims?
I'll might be interested in those 
I bought some NOS euro spec bumper trims in HO some years ago. It was a complete set of four pieces (left&right). Price was in the upper hundreds... |

As a data point: A couple of years ago I sold a used but nice condition set of beltline and rocker spears (original VW German factory stuff) for $1,000. The buyer polished them up nicely and is still rokin' them today.

If it's belt line trim - You should also mention the year/model.
Deluxe obviously but 23-Window or 21-Window trim?
Bumper trim it would be good to know slash vs. pointed bumper trim too
American style vs. Euro
Pressed bumper vs. later bumpers
For some reason I don't think you mean belt line trim as those are all separate pieces that are individually wrapped but if you have a complete set of that, all wrapped up, that is insane and awesome.
I'd love to see pics of everything regardless of what it is.

| It’s the belt line trim, all separately wrapped, and bumper trim, euro spec, I got it in Malta years ago. How do you tell if it’s early or late split? |

There are several versions of thd bumper trim:
Pointed ends from about 65+
Slashed ends earlier than 65
Pressed bumper version
and of course BD
Nevertheless this is some really rare stuff as NOS.
Look up prices for the repops and add what you personally think to it. That’s what I would do…

rear hatch is about 4 feet wide for 64-67,
about 3 feet wide for 55-63.
You can also look up part numbers in section 8 of the type II Part List at OACDP.com
pics?

Not to forget the sliding door versions. These would be super rare, especially the LH one. |

If you put it for sale with a price and no one responds - your price is too high.
If you put it for sale with a price and you get bombarded with emails - its probably too low |

A few pics.
Nose trim 24185350 x2
The other side x2
Rear qrt corners, to doors only (can’t see prt number)
Sill trim 241853571 x2
Long straights 241853541d x2 (these have been cut in half to get them on the plane)
Rear bumper 241707412c x1
Other side x1
Front bumper 241 707211b x2
Bumper trim possibly slash cut x4
All bought in 96 for my double door, but never fitted. I realise this isn’t a complete set now, but all still NOS |

| Bit of investigating. Looks like the bumper trim is 66/67 Euro spec, both pointed on one end, and assuming they're euro because they came from Malta, so longer than US spec. The bumper trim inserts look like they're both slash cut. |
