If they’re the ones I’m thinking of, they aren’t even original pigalle covers. I was arguing with a guy on Facebook who was selling them. I showed him pictures of a super low mile car so he could see what original pigalle seat covers looked like, and he still argued with me saying his were original. |

1959 VW Price: 9000
"It has a lot of rust."
TOTAL turd. $2k car at best...better yet, drop a zero from that price

Edited: I originally said "That's not the correct steering wheel for a '65, that's a 60-63, that's strange."
After looking closely, I just realized it's just the wrong horn ring.

Looking at that wheel makes my eyes hurt.

$2,700 for a good starter project with room to knock it down another few hundred, maybe.
Will obviously need apron/well work, but the rest does look dry and straight. I'd pick this all day over something with fully-distributed rust. This is very appealing against the backdrop of so many other higher-priced turds out there.
