You may (or may not) have gathered by all my various posts - I have a smashed 1970 1500 beetle, and a 1971 superbug that we bought complete without engine, in an attempt to use the body on the 1970 (but no can do:blush).
So now we have decided not to attempt to rebuild our 1970 (and have in fact bought another beautiful 1971 beetle). So we are left with the two mentioned above, that sadly we need to move on to another home...
Currently, we have the engine out of the 1970 in the superbug, so this is now complete. I have advertised (on this forum only) the blue as parts (or whole preferably) and the black as a whole (will part out if no interest).
Problem is, i am not getting much interest for either (a few queries on parts for the 1970 but nothing definite).
How would you attempt to get rid of them - this is what I need your opinions on. I don't expect top dollar for them - just want to recoup whatever is reasonable......
I definitely need to advertise outside of this forum for a start. But failing that, would you take them to Day of and try and sell there? Would I pull them apart or take as a whole and get people to register parts that they could buy if no-one buys them as a whole?? Do you think trading post or ebay is definitely the way to go (is there more interest out there than in here) What's your thoughts, and also any comments on price I should ask for them. I have pics attached to the threads - 71 superbug, and 1970 1500 beetle (pics for 1970 being attached today hopefully) and I will bump them up later.....
