How is it any more rare than any other split of the same vintage?
while it is 'neat' that it is a 'berg' split, it has MANY incorrect parts which significantly affect value.
I'd much rather have a nicer split that was owned by someone no one has ever heard of.

| The only rare thing I see is, that it is about an early '51 Split, that means an azure split wihtout crotch cooler. Don't see them often. |

Look a little more closely. It is a crotch cooler car. The carpet is incorrect and covers most of the vent on the inside.

I made an offer as they asked and I never heard back from Delores Berg. So I believe this was a junk posting....probably already sold or fishing. My offer was based on my knowing there were MANY incorrect parts which in the real world as said, "significantly affect value" |

Being that Gene Berg was quite the innovator back in the day, I felt that it would be pretty cool to own something of his that he cared for and loved. I wasn't commenting on originality or incorrect parts.
