hi guys
what's the going rate for an original unmolested mid 60s 1200 beetle in fair shape these days?
there's no rust (that I can see anyway), and the motor's healthy. just a tidy car that's been used/maintained fairly regularly and would be a great driver with some basic freshening up.
any value advice welcome.
'75 single cab pickup
You looking to buy or sell?
Does the current owner know what the market is?
I got mine for a couple of hundred on the basis it was going to be looked after. I could really have paid up to a couple of thousand. Depends a lot on the current owners attachment to it. If it is in te condition you have indicated (assuming it is also registered) I would say $1500ish.
Correct me if I am way off fellow dubbers

Id say wrong..
Unmolestered, in good general original mainained condition, with rego... Mid 60's.... Between $2500 - $4500?
These have gone up as the good solid original ones are not as plentiful as they once were. They are still around but few and far between.

The operative word(s)....this is where any guess tends to go haywire.....my good condition might be entirely different than your good condition......
Back to the piece of string

I would have said "How tall is a Chinaman".....but I'm probably not allowed to say that anymore.🙅
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
Take your time and look around i bought mine for around 1500. You would be lucky to get a 60's beetle with minimal rust though. If its in good condition i'd only pay 2500-3000

Who cares what his name is?
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!
I bought mine 2 weeks ago for just under $2k, unregistered but drove home fine, has rust and some paint / panel issues, but I was happy with the price.....

It's worth what you are willing to pay for it, if you like the car and the sound of the price, it's meant to be!

Hmmm,..
and ontop of what has been said above,..
I'd say you need to 'like' the car.
Because it will generally always cost more than you think/ want to get it to the condition you want.
Buy the year and model of car that you really want.

I agree i bought my 65 as i loved the look and felt it had/has potential...... almost of to the panel beater for a spray.
Paid 1000
spent 500 - 600
time a few long hours
all worth it good fun and a cool car
I agree with the above comments - a classic car is only worth what you are willing to pay!
I searched for many months before finding one I liked the look of that met my 'want' list.
I bought my '62 in 2009 for a shade over $3.5k with rego, new set of tyres and a well serviced engine. Bought it in Sydney and drove it to Brissie on the same day. Had minimal rust and has run like a dream since. I'm happy with my investment.
Every car is different, so too every buyer/seller!
