You are reading it wrong
| The Ad wrote: |
| VW BUG 1963. ORIGINAL BLACK 1600 Dual Port Engine fresh Rebuilt |
Period after 1963 then new sentence so:
It looks like the engine is originally black, not necessarily the car.

I knew it was the wrong forum but I couldn't resist. I don't ever go to the split bus forum and I wanted to be sure you guys saw this one. Guess it could also go into the abortion thread!

Yet another one who has no idea what "restored" means.
Aftermarket 1500cc with missing tin and a freeway-flyer.

From the ad - "No expense was spared on this car"
Looks like they could have spent a little more money on bumpers.

It seems weird not to say what years they are or the total count in the ad.
It looks like it's 1950-2001?
So 51 plates.
Basically $100 each.
I see these things for sale all the time but I never pay attention to the values but I didn't think it was anywhere near that.

I only see 33 plates. Am I missing something?

Originally I didn't count but there are 33 in the picture and he says he says he has a 1950 frame too so at least 34.
I can't see all the years in the pic but it looked like they were in order.
I thought he had 1950 up to 2001 because 2001 looked like the latest one on the right side.
So I guess he is missing some and it's even more money per frame
$5000/34 = $147 per frame
