Expensive doors

Is this about what these doors are worth now days, or is this just asking to much?

A quote from the movie, The Castle - 'Tell him, he's dreamin son'.
As Ian said, if they were the last in Australia then maybe.

When you find a 54 oval for $2k let me know 
What people need to realize is they aren't just oridinary VW doors.
Ribbed oval doors aren't falling from the sky and have alot of unique parts like different vent windows, door latches, winder mechs etc.
They aren't worth anywhere near what he is asking but trying to find some in any condition is finding a needle in a hay stack and the seller is
trying to cash in on that.
Best of luck with that....

What do they mean by ribbed? Like curved out ways? Did all 54s have these doors or are they super rare?

if you look around the inner door trim there is like a 20mm wide hump all the way round...... "ribbed"

I agree where else have you seen early 55 ovals doors or earlier for sale complete. 500 a door x3 so 1500 is not expensive. cant blame him for a punt!

they ARE rear as... lol
and its only money... lol
If I had an early original type beetle with these doors...
then money wouldn't be an object..
I'd have to have those for spares...
once they are gone... there are NO More coming...
BUY the Most expensive VW doors I have seen... lol
He is out to make money... plenty of people like that though

He's F@$king PISSED!!!

He is a dreamer. Lives down the road from me. Thinks 54's are ultra rare as he owns one and has had a few in the past.
He had a set of heart light casings on last week for 300. I tried to buy a whole 54 off him that was better than the one I had. i sold the one I had
to pay for the new one and when I went to pick it up he said it is no longer for sale so I lost out BIG!!!
Good luck to him!
