I guess the seller name containing 356 should tip us off right away. God help us if they try to take Ghias into 356 parts land.

This raises the question---------if a low-light has no lights is it still a low-light???
Or is it one of them "No-lights".  |

The electric antenna probably plays a part in the price...  |

Looks like he needs a quick $100,000! |
I doubt that will be a "quick" sell off.

Would I be right in assuming the $23k doesn't include pictures. |
His other no photo ad for the "Kumbie" is pretty special also.

Did it really sell?
That has to go as lawn art....
It would be an interesting study to take the sum off every repair panel on a 1958 and see where you come out. Add 8 hours labor to each...and then a .20 material multiplier for paint/finish...
I'm guessing you ballpark around $20k. Then you have to worry about interior, engine, suspension etc....wowsers.
