Hey all.
Thought you may be interested..
There's abeautiful dark red bug for sale, it's on Burwood Highway, near Warrigal Road, near Emmaus College.

It's a '63 if I remember correctly, but it's been restored... The interior is leather, beautiful condition, not a scratch, Wolfsburg badge on front, in the back is a dual carby engine, (not sure what CC, etc.), but everythings very shiny and polished, and looks fantastic.

Very good looking bug, going for $26k. If you want more details, Let me know!

Cheers

HOW MUCH? Dream, dream dreeeeaaaam! 26k can get you alot more than a 63 bug thats been restored.

N!

for $26k it must have everything
just think...
nos everything
fully accessorised
awesome engine
lots of nos rare bits fitted, plenty in boxes in the front and behind the back seat, stacked on the roof rack, under the back seat too

got any pics?

Nah, I don't have any pics, it is a dealership car... Apparently they've spent over $60k restoring her... BS I think. You can buy bloody 20 beetles for that price, and I doubt it'd take you 20 beetles to get the parts to fix her up

But she's a rather beautiful little bug, got some sort of a tank in the front 'boot', but I'm not sure what that is... But she's a beautiful little car...

And no, noboxes, no extras, no nothing. But I'm pretty sure she'd have to come with a warranty and be in perfect shape for that amount

umm.....the fuel tank?

That's crazy 26k, I think I'd rather have another KG for that money.

drive past there every day...think i'll have to stop by and have a look at this 26k bug ...

perhaps its 2.6K?

26k for a beetle itd want to be gold plated, run on 150 mpg with 500 horsepower, and power windows. somebody get some pics!

somebody get a pic if you can:alien

2.6k and id have bought it.

It's defianately 26k. ikts a dealership, theyre somewhat enthusiastic..

It's got some gold plating around the fanbelt area I think... On the fanbelt pulley, it looks gold/brass.

SWEET BRING ON THE PICS.

what dealer is it at? drove past today but couldn't see it...

No, I saw today it's gone

It's the one on the bottom of the hill just after the dip in the road... Opposite side to Macca's, opposite direction to Macca's... Dunno where they've moved it to though

its gone ???????????????? sold ? I don't think so ... how can that be possible.

It's back again at Penfold Mazda Used Cars... Also, heading away from Melbourne there's also a handful of bugs in an empty lot all bearing "For Sale" signs.

Cheers

can somebody get a pic please?

this car must be made of gold...

will try and pop there tomorrow and get some pics... also of the empty car lot of bugs (seen them for a couple days this week and want to have a closer look...thought there was a convertible there!)

Canni, when you do, please let me know some of the details!

If it's cheap enough ~$5k or $6k, reliable, easy to maintain and comes with warranty, then I'll finally have my dream car

Cheers

The sales man told me its had only one careful owner so I said it must be "Gods car ". "Gods car " the sales man replied, "yes "I said " The only problem is that you think you've got heven but your charging the earth !"

nIck

hahaha nice one!!!

I have photos... very nice bug... love the colour... unfortunately my sister has the digital camera cable... so i won't be able to put em up here till late tonight or tomorrow morning...

the details on the car...'56 oval window... highly modified 2 litre engine..interior looks very nice, porsche steering wheel.... guy says he wants 30k for it!!!! no bargaining...he expects someone to pay that for it... apparently had 50k spent on it...

Kippa dee you might be more interested in the 4 bugs in the empty car lot i saw... I took some photos of them too...however I'm not sure who you'd contact on them... they were behind a locked fence and no one else was around...there was a black beetle there that looked pretty cool and some later bugs that looked in good nick...

so yeah theres some details and i'll try and get pics up soon..

30k for an Oval! Mate if you're the owner and you're on here you are dreaming. Oh my gosh I am peeing myself. Sure it may be a sweet ride, and he might want to recoup on his investment, but sheesh. Good luck to him if he can find someone to buy it - because in every likelihood whoever would know what an Oval is - would be on this site anyway - and know what it is really worth.

I think I'll go and lie down.......

Squiz.......

He's certainly become more enthusiastic... I was quoted $26k with $60k spent on it :blah obviously changing his mind as he goes.

Apparently the dealership bought it from some guy coz he wanted a daily driver and this bug was costing him too much.. Bah!

Cheers,

Joel

Typical dealer. Obviously gave the guy $5000 trade in on a Mazda 121 and now looking to make a big profit.

Squiz......

trying to attatch pics... having problems with this so lets see how it goes...

was difficult to take photos squished in between other cars...

next one

interior

last photo engine..

these don't really do justice to the car (had to make them extremely low qaulity...but still I doubt he'll get that much for it...(tried not to laugh when he said 30k)

If anyone wants the high qaulity pics ...u2u me...
