German barn find!
Hi guys, I'm in germany on holiday at my wifes family farm and have made a lovely discovery in a barn at the back of the farm. To cut a long story
short i have bought two vw's, a 1970 rock solid karmann gia and next to it is a 64 beetle that has been parked up for 30 years. it has all the extras
you could ask for including factory metal sunroof, head rests, color coded front parcel shelf, reverse and rear fog lights. the car is a one owner and
still has it's origional pain( grey ) and origional interior. It still has a full set of cross ply's and was only driven for ten years before being
parked up. It has two small rust issues and ofcoarse is left hand drive. Is it worth shipping it back to Australia? if so how much do you think it's
worth for sale when landed?

If your intention is to bring them back to sell for profit you woul be more sucessful to sell them there.. Far cheaper than bringing them here and
converting them.
If you want them to keep then what they are worth here does not matter.

I have seen the panels go for between $750 and $1,200 although you would have to wait for someone that is in the market to get those figures. It will
probably cost 3-5k to bring back a car and not much more if you bring back 2. You could also fit 3 in a container with parts and it will still only
be maybe 6k.

you will prob find that the beetle would sell for more in germany than it would over here.
from what i saw a few years ago, beetles weren't a cheap(ish) car that people just drove, as a lot still are over here. to build a beetle cost $$$
and they spent HEAPS on rust work... they had to. if the car is good rust wise (ie doesn't need both sills, f and r 1/4's, clips etc etc) it
shouldn't be too hard to sell.
