[WTB - VIC] Early Beetle or Type 3 Wagon or Notch
paulr - July 19th, 2011 at 07:21 PM

Hey Lads

I am starting to look for an early beetle (67 or earlier) or an early type 3 wagon. Happy to pay reasonably for a good one. Needs to be registered or very close to registrable. Not looking for a massive project.

My dream is: Rust free, og paint, og interior or restored close to og, go fast motor and good drive train.

Prefer Melbourne or at least Victoria and definitely sub $10k

Any help appreciated

Paul

maybe some gold inside too for the hell of it.
no chance buddy.

just one of your wants is sub 10's let alone all of them.

Thanks for the words of encouragement mate - I see you have been on the forum for a long time.

I just missed a ripper 67 on ebay this week for $11k that more than met that criteria. So I am on the glass half full side.

paulr!
Does it really matter how long some one has been on this forum???

bitemeoz - July 21st, 2011 at 09:03 PM

I'd say it does,

something about if you got nothing nice to say dont say it.

Whats the point of those useless comments other than trying to wind people up.

thats the beauty of the written word. the context is often lost as what you are saying .you Could be being an ass or could be genuinely saying good luck.i always prefer to give benefit of the doubt and think wagoon 69 was genuinely offering a glass half full kind of encouragement.

type3disease - July 22nd, 2011 at 11:15 AM

i reckon you'll find its venFun10 he was referring too...!

but then thats me reading it my way...! :crazy:

paulr - July 22nd, 2011 at 01:57 PM

No offence to any one - as T3D suggests was referring to venfun10s helful remark

wagoon69 - appreciate the comment.

Now guys lets find a car

Cheers

Thanks Craig - and yes having been chatting with Adam. Hopefully get out there today and have a look. Surprising the number of cars coming out of the woodwork

why dont you all just shut up unless you have a car for him or can refer him to a car???

plenty of good reasonably priced cars out there mate, you will usually find them with people who's heads aren't up their own asses.

good luck(genuine).

edit: apologies to the softies who may have taken offence, but I read this post immediately after reading the latest KG 4 sale thread. hope u can understand my fury:grind:

venFun10 - August 17th, 2011 at 12:33 PM

how is the search going?
not being smart, i am looking myself so i am curious

paulr - August 17th, 2011 at 06:30 PM

Plenty out there - I went to look at a few, including Empi's Notch, which is a ripper. But in the end decided to stick with my lowlight - as I enjoyed driving it to look at the the other cars too much.

Still keeping an eye but more likely to be a project and not a replacement for the bus

Cheers
