[FS - QLD] 63 Ragtop Beetle 2110
Dasdubber - April 10th, 2007 at 08:31 PM

Although I can't confirm until I see it, but it should also be gracing the pages of the next Fast Fours magazine (May issue out mid april).....and possibly Hot VWs (Dean Kirsten is just awaiting some info from the photographer who shot the car when I still had it).

Good luck with the sale Damo.

I know it is hard for anyone to come up with $20K....but as you mention, it would cost well over double that to build it (not to mention about 2 years worth of labour which I didn't factor into the parts cost estimate)!

For anyone serious, you won't be disappointed. :)

Thanks Alan,I've really struggled with this decision but we are moving interstate and I have a few vehicles too many.The rego and transport costs are ridiculous.I know it may take a while to sell but it must go.Open to reasonable offers....and maybe not so reasonable offers:P
Cheers
Damo

hey mate, very very nice car.
Just wondering how much the Fuch's were, very intruiged into the deep dish they seem to have aquired. If you were to sell the Fuchs seperately what would you be looking at ?
Neways, sorry to go off subject, All the best with the sale of the car, ne1 who snatches this up is very lucky.
Happy vee-dubbing, Matt.

nick

goodluck with the sale.


demon - April 10th, 2007 at 10:42 PM

Thanks Nick,Matt the fuchs on the ragtop cost $1700 to buy and then $900 to restore plus $1200 for tyres on top.No shortcuts anywhere on this car!!!


Dasdubber - April 11th, 2007 at 08:15 AM

Good luck with the interstate move Damo - hope it all goes well.

I'd suggest throwing it in Unique Cars as you may get better exposure for people with the necessary funds...hard to know though!


VWCOOL - April 11th, 2007 at 10:33 AM

Is that the one in the May issue of Fast Fours magazine? ;)

Please call me if you are seriously interested.Believe me this is not a car I would trust to a transport company.$150 to fly to sunshine coast and drive home with a smile on your mug.Don't be offended but if someone put a 53 on the side of this car I would kick their arse over their shoulder:P:thumb


Craig Torrens - April 12th, 2007 at 05:33 PM

what about a 69 sticker :smilegrin:


Dasdubber - April 12th, 2007 at 06:22 PM

For anyone interested, as Takhoal mentions, it is finally in Fast Fours current issue (May) - see pg 104 for a nice write up (thanks VWCOOL) and pics.

demon - April 12th, 2007 at 10:37 PM
