    • I've gotten a couple of nibbles from the Samba ad. Most interestingly - a fellow from Austria.

      • NO! He'll want to upholster it in Kangaroo hide!

        • Dan, There are no kangaroos in in Austria (Perhaps in a zoo?), those critters live in Australia. LOL.
          But seriously folks, you would think central Europe would be crawling with beetles, er. VW's?

            It will surely sell on The Samba.

            • Maybe Beatles, beetles, and Beetles.. I've only been to Italy and they have lots of tiny Fiats instead.

                • I missed somethin'. Where did WWII come into this? Oh, and yes, Italy had lots of tiny Fiats back then, too, along with some big ones.

                  • Not much activity in the last week. I lowered the price to $6,250 as I need to make room and replenish the bank account after the purchase of this over the weekend:

                    • After running the price up and down for a couple of months, we finally decided to try to move one last time before winter. We lowered the price to what we had into it and after fending off someone from Vegas who was overly interested in my banking information I got a call from a guy named Dan from Denver. After a few questions he asked me what it would take, deposit wise, to have me hold for him until he could come to get it (he is about 14 hours from me). We agreed on a figure and he sent it priority mail the next day. A couple of weeks later (last Saturday the 10th) he came to pick it up. We loaded all the parts, took a quick spin in the car and loaded it on the trailer and he was on his way. The transaction went very smoothly and Dan is a super nice guy. He was very excited about the car (he had one years ago) and he looked like a kid in a candy store behind the wheel. He plans to redo the bug with the help of his 2 sons. I checked in with him on Monday and he made it home safe and sound. The report is that the boys loved the test ride. Departing pics:

                      • If it was me, I'd have backed the car on.. But seeing how he was able to get the rear wheels over the axle.. Should be an easy cruise!
