Hey all.
Thought you may be interested..
There's abeautiful dark red bug for sale, it's on Burwood Highway, near Warrigal Road, near Emmaus College.

It's a '63 if I remember correctly, but it's been restored... The interior is leather, beautiful condition, not a scratch, Wolfsburg badge on front, in the back is a dual carby engine, (not sure what CC, etc.), but everythings very shiny and polished, and looks fantastic.

Very good looking bug, going for $26k. If you want more details, Let me know!

Cheers

Nah, I don't have any pics, it is a dealership car... Apparently they've spent over $60k restoring her... BS I think. You can buy bloody 20 beetles for that price, and I doubt it'd take you 20 beetles to get the parts to fix her up

But she's a rather beautiful little bug, got some sort of a tank in the front 'boot', but I'm not sure what that is... But she's a beautiful little car...

And no, noboxes, no extras, no nothing. But I'm pretty sure she'd have to come with a warranty and be in perfect shape for that amount

No, I saw today it's gone 🙁

It's the one on the bottom of the hill just after the dip in the road... Opposite side to Macca's, opposite direction to Macca's... Dunno where they've moved it to though

It's back again at Penfold Mazda Used Cars... Also, heading away from Melbourne there's also a handful of bugs in an empty lot all bearing "For Sale" signs.

Canni, when you do, please let me know some of the details!

If it's cheap enough ~$5k or $6k, reliable, easy to maintain and comes with warranty, then I'll finally have my dream car 😀

I have photos... very nice bug... love the colour... unfortunately my sister has the digital camera cable... so i won't be able to put em up here till late tonight or tomorrow morning...

the details on the car...'56 oval window... highly modified 2 litre engine..interior looks very nice, porsche steering wheel.... guy says he wants 30k for it!!!! no bargaining...he expects someone to pay that for it... apparently had 50k spent on it...

Kippa dee you might be more interested in the 4 bugs in the empty car lot i saw... I took some photos of them too...however I'm not sure who you'd contact on them... they were behind a locked fence and no one else was around...there was a black beetle there that looked pretty cool and some later bugs that looked in good nick...

so yeah theres some details and i'll try and get pics up soon..

30k for an Oval! Mate if you're the owner and you're on here you are dreaming. Oh my gosh I am peeing myself. Sure it may be a sweet ride, and he might want to recoup on his investment, but sheesh. Good luck to him if he can find someone to buy it - because in every likelihood whoever would know what an Oval is - would be on this site anyway - and know what it is really worth.

I think I'll go and lie down.......

Squiz.......

He's certainly become more enthusiastic... I was quoted $26k with $60k spent on it :blah obviously changing his mind as he goes.

Apparently the dealership bought it from some guy coz he wanted a daily driver and this bug was costing him too much.. Bah!

Typical dealer. Obviously gave the guy $5000 trade in on a Mazda 121 and now looking to make a big profit.

last photo engine..

these don't really do justice to the car (had to make them extremely low qaulity...but still I doubt he'll get that much for it...(tried not to laugh when he said 30k)

If anyone wants the high qaulity pics ...u2u me...
