As a habit, I don't post on the samba, but I would like to post and request that this thread be locked. I had given permission to Dave to come on here and post up about what I found to try and get more information and a value. For those of you that posted to that end I am thankful. My goal was/is to see this chassis get into the hands of someone who can do it justice and properly document it for posterity. I will ask the new owner to reopen this thread as he sees fit.
Thank you Everrett for this wonderful site! |

Could be worse! Could go back to "stock", like we haven't seen enough stock bugs around. |

The bigger question IMO is who would buy it? 1) someone that needs a '49 pan (and therefore would probably not need the engine) 2) someone who needs the '46 engine (and probably would not need the chassis) or 3) someone that just likes to have cool old stuff and has a bunch of money to blow on it.

i guess i fall into #3. i made an offer early on just so i can detail it up and put it in my collection to show it off with my other early cars

He needs to get more realistic on the price. Then it will sell. |
Actually I don't think the price is too far off.

Personally, I think since the potential buyer pool for the engine and chassis individually is so small, the seller would be better served to split them and sell them separately. |
I'm more than sure if the own would get an offer on just the chassis minus the engine and/or for the engine minus the chassis he would go for it if the offer was in reason! |

I keep thinking about it. I know of a split that needs that engine.... of course then I'd have to get the split too....

| I'm so disappointed with the way this find was handled, that, I'm ready to buy that chassis just so I can ask the moderator to lock this thread. |

You have to consider how many people that thing is valuable to. It's probably very valuable to anyone building a coachbuilt replica, but how many of those are there total? Maybe a dozen in various stages of completion worldwide? And to anyone building a volksrod who wants BRAGGING RIGHTS to a 1949 title in the glovebox, for the specific purpose of pissing off the trolls at the HAMB. How much are bragging rights worth? Maybe 8K, tops
