Hi! I was wondering if any can help me? I have a 1970 Beetle 1500, it has orginal green paint and a re-conditioned VW Combi engine in it. It has a little rust in the back panels down near the steps on both sides plus a little surface rust here and there. She starts first go and is in good condition. I was going to restore her but my circumstances have changed and so instead of her rusting in my back yard I thought I would sell her to someone who can restore her. My problem is I have no idea what she is worth. Can any one give me some suggestions please. Thank you. i realise without pictures it is a litlle hard but I just need a rough idea?😊

Hi again....I know it is a little hard for ideas when you cant see it but I just need a rough idea?? I love my bug but just can't afford to do her up the way she should be and I don't want her to end up going rusty and sad.
A rough idea would be between $500 and $3000
There are so many factors, such as rego left? roadworthy certificate? tyres new? exhaust new? interior new? windscreen or rubbers new? any wiring issues?
I'd agree with that. $500 for a rough one up to $3000 for a good one. Rust probably means that it needs a bit of bodywork so maybe $2000 maximum?
Thanks. It is roadworthy, I just couldn't afford to re-register her. She is in good condition and no dents. Everything on her orginal except for the engine. Thanks agin for the replys
If it is sold with a current roadworthy certificate, so the new owner can jump in and drive, then max $2000. With no paperwork, the appeal to buy and drive is gone. The price drops accordingly.
When you say it has a Kombi engine, do you mean a Type 4 engine, being a 1700, 1800, 2 litre? With twin carbs?
i honestly don't know. My partner is the car man and he is at work. Thanks for your replies.
