What are your thoughts
What do people think about this car?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1954-1955-VW-Oval-Beetle-Split-36-hp-/180832930896...
To me it looks in great shape.
What am I missing?

If that is what you want then buy it
I have seen people pay not much less and have to do a ton of work for it
If this is as rust free as it says it is a good car
A few pics of the upholstry would be good
Futue te ipsum!!!

Unusually cheap.
It's been in a front ender prang, but you can't exactly be picky when shopping for early ovals, especially one that solid.

If it ticks all the right boxes for you buy it.
For that price you can't go Wrong if it's a solid roller

looks good. Its an oval, unmolested, rust free (which is unusual for a beetle) $4050 atm with minor work needed. worth a look if ya can get to it (
what would a bug of any era cost in that condition? 3k or more?) flip a coin!
