newcastle sea blue splitty
kg1962 - August 6th, 2009 at 01:19 AM

Hi All,

Was in Newcastle CBD today and saw a beautiful sea blue/blue white splitty, which is a colour match for my 1964 Karmann Ghia. It had a 2009 VW Nationals card on the windscreen. Anyone know who owns this vehicle and whether they want to sell it?

PS: Number plate was SAMBA1

Found a pic on the net of the splitty I mentioned.

if thats for sale you will need plenty of cash, looks sweet:dork:

Looks even better in the metal. I was driving and pulled over when I noticed it. Spent the next 10 minutes drooling over it.

That would seem a fairly obvious statement. I don't pretend to be a splitty aficionado as my interest has always been in ghias. To me the vehicle looked in pretty good nick, although I did not look inside or under the vehicle. Are you aware of any particular problem with it or were you just making a random statement?

mechanically good but has major issues from waistline up

Is this a guessing game? I cannot see any issues at all ?

if you get the opportunity to buy this bus, get it PROFESSIONALLY checked out

in the picture it looks very ripply around the side windows?Has it had the top from a 23 window welded in?Maybe its had a roll?:rolleyes:

devon57 - September 9th, 2009 at 07:40 AM

nah wasn't rolled, just know a previous owner and the reasons it has been sold so many times:smirk:

Still a guessing game!

rexy has spotted it
i think you will find the guessing game is how many windows did it have when the bus rolled off the assembly line.

Its a shame people go through all that effort and do a crap job of it, if it was done right not many people would have known!
