Yeah John, I got mine from Melbourne, easy, fly down, look, transport up.....do it, you know you want to!

looks like a good buy, if my garage fit 3 bugs I'd buy it, but it barely scrapes holding 2 nose to nose.

Good luck

jonathanmayes ·

Please check your U2U...

yuw15h ·

BUMP,

still for sale

rerty ·

Hi ,
Can you give me an idea about the body condition, including the pan for rust activity?
What size motor has it got, what modifications ?
What has been done suspension wise to lower it other than what you have mentioned?
Are you prepared for someone to inspect it, like a vw shop/mechanic?
Any of the above info would be very helpful!
Thanks,
rerty.

G'day Andy. This should draw out some genuine buyers.

As you are open to offers I'll give you $1500 cash + pay for your flight back to Canberra if you deliver to Sydney.

This is a firm offer, until 6pm Sunday 15 April.

C'mon - surely someone can do better than this?

Cheers
Dave
Carlingford NSW (near Parramatta).

jonathanmayes ·

Sent you an email Andy / yuw15h...

challenger ·

Free bump:thumb

jonathanmayes ·

Andy,

I will call you tomorrow - I am in Sydney for the next few days for work (so close to Canberra)...

The money you are chasing is in my budget now!

Now I have to find a freight company who will do a deal, this could be the deciding factor?

steviebeats ·

Hi Andy,

Just to be clear my offer is $2700 with wide rims and car as is, or $2000 without wide rims.

humpty ·

You gonna drive it bck if you win this?.... Its a good trip.... Have done it many times in a VW....

tinman ·

Ohhh that's nice... I've been drooling over this for a while now.
Wife says the project 66 Squareback sitting under the carport must go before I'm allowed anymore toys. I wonder why do I hold onto it sometimes...

steviebeats ·

yes I was thinking of doing the drive. I guess you need to do it once in your life.

reub ·

This looks sweet as in the pics....can't believe it hasn't sold yet....

bugluv ·

I've been drooling over it and I'm about 5 minutes away 😁 very nice 😵

NathanVW ·

Why didnt this sell right away? The asking price was insanely cheap and its a really nice looking bug!!

jonathanmayes ·

Deposit paid - organising freight - cant wait to take delivery next week...!

dvs_vw ·

Mick - looking foward to getting it! Can you recomend anyone for transport, I want it organised by tomorrow...

DubbinDan ·

call Juri on 0403988219 = VW Specialist transportation.

dvs_vw ·

my 59 was bought up from VIC by TNT, no issues, arrived the day and time they said, delivered to my door....easy!

The oval I went a picked up, if you can be f*cked, get a 4wd and a trailer and road trip it....that was easy too!

We'll have to go on a cruise to harry's or something when you get it!

My oval goes to Pete tomorrow for some minor work, roady, rego then slam job!!!(hopefully all goes to plan)

jonathanmayes ·

Looks like it will be at my place next Tuesday... *waiting*

How did Pete go with your oval? I'll be seeing him re. rego. transfer etc with the '65.

dvs_vw ·

he's still got it, just got some minor wiring issues that needed redoing, should be regoed Thursday or Friday, then back to him for a week or so to redo some of the susp and steering components, narrowed beam and slammed!

tazkralc ·

Birch Green ·

YEP PRETTY SURE IT'S SOLD!!😀

Birch Green ·

Although... I will be looking at selling this car in a few months due to a change in circumstances! 🤪 [Need a ute]

This is what it looks like now:





The cars paint is in great condition, and was resprayed about 3 years ago, and the 1200 was apparently recon about 4 years ago by 'Beetle Exchange' - runs and drives very very well (although a little bumpy 😀).

All bumpers / chrome work / EMPI zoom pipe (exhaust) is either new or in great condition also...

Since I have taken ownership, a few things that I have / Custom Off Road have completed on the old girl:
- Fitted new K/L front beam with adjusters
- Rebuilt rear end to a more reasonable ride height, new spring plates etc.
- All four tyres are brand new (135's front, and 165's rear)
- American spec tail lights
- EMPI front and rear gravel guards (not shown in pics)
- EMPI chrome 'bear claws' (not shown in pics)
- EMPI short shift kit
- HASSIA Front foglight
- Flat Four stainless steel roof rack
...and lots of detailing!

The interior has been retrimed at some stage, but could do with a little more attention.

No idea what it is worth?

sorry tried to u2u but website wouldn't let me..(newbie rules)

tazkralc ·

if it still for sale, if it's registered and road worthy i'll give you 2000

65notch ·

Birch Green ·

If all it is worth is $2K - I will definately hang onto it...

I will post an ad when I am really ready to sell - don't hesitate to leave expressions of interest.

PHAT BUG ·

I would put it at $4-5K.

You would be lucky to find a 60's bug registered and roadworthy for $2k. And a bug in this condition? NO chance.
I'm with the last post $4 to 5 grands worth sitting there.

boristherat ·

Yep.....strewth! If that was worth only 2k, I'll take two!
Reckon 4-5 is a more than reasonable ask!

[ Edited on 17-9-2007 by boristherat ]

steviebeats ·

Hi mate I am interested. I was in discussions with the original owner back in April.
Good to see it went to someone who took the care to get it right.
Anyway email me - steve@alohamusic.com.au when you are ready to sell.
Cheers

kombimatt ·

This is one sweet looking bug. Don't let it go for under 5K.

Anyone who thinks they will pick it up for less than that - Telling him he's dreamin'.

BTW - start a new thread to avoid any further confusion.
