WOW!
If there is no reserve, that is a bargain even at $10000.
I can only imagine how much you have spent on that....
That is one awesome car.

That has to be with out any doubt the most tastefull dubbs i have seen in a long time... I tried to find a stone chip on the front, doesn't seem to
be one... is there any stone damage on the rear guards or anywhere for that matter... do you know how many km or miles the car has done... is there
any tiny scratches or blemishes that i cant see... the photo's look great... is she running premium unleaded... i do realize you aren't the owner
but it's late in perth and i thought you sound like you know the car well... been looking for a nice bug for some time now... made a few offers but
on some really nice bugs but nothing as yet has come through... damn those seats look great... kind of reminds me of a old porsche 356. i have seen
them in that colour and red leather interior... now just have to get up early in the morning and make the mrs's breakfast in bed... get the washing
done before she gets home from work then show her the pictures of this beetle after the dinner i made.....
cheer's

herbsta, as far as im concerned the car is absolutely immaculate. not sure of the other details like mileage but it has been on the streets roughly a
year or less?
for all the info please contact Ben the owner by going to the ebay auction and contacting the seller, otherwise u2u me for his mobile if ur seriously
interested.
fossil the car is not mine, but i would prefer ppl not coming onto posts and commenting about prices if theyre not even going to make an offer on the
car, its just unneccessary.

That is IMMACULATE
Fossil,
I had this problem when I was trying to sell the buggy. Everyone just sees a VW and thinks it's cheap fun. There's got to be at least 10k worth of
custom parts, the motor would have been round 6-7k to build, the paint about the same and the interior is stunning. If you saw a chevy impala, a
hot-rod, or an oval for that matter, that was this good, it would be $30k.
Wake up sunshine, I bet whatever you paid for Peter's bay didn't even get close to reflecting the real cost and effort. Custom means expensive. This
car's probably underpriced if anything.nn[ Edited on 16-9-2005 by pete wood ]

I do not disgree as to the class of this VW and evidently have stirred a storm in a tea cup - what I was eluding to is that it is worth what someone
is prepared to pay for it and just like with Peter Keegan's Bay I bought I got a great deal at much under the cost of the full resto + new 2 litre
engine & gearbox.
I also wish him well with the sale and if I was in the market for another VW then this one would be top of the list.

Hey I love this bug, just wondering if those side little mirrors screw into the hinge? And did you use a premade carpet kit for the floor, if you did
it looks great and I am possibly thinking of buying one instead of doing it ourselves!
