Looking to buy a older VW Bug. Would like a semi project (runnning) or one that is done right and not priced out of the universe.
Recently sold my mini that I restored and now am regretting it.
I was made an offer I couldn't refuse.
Very nice mini.Looking to buy a older VW Bug. Would like a semi project (runnning) or one that is done right and not priced out of the universe.
Recently sold my mini that I restored and now am regretting it.
I was made an offer I couldn't refuse.
I sold the Mini for 35K.What did you mini sell for? Damn bugs are fetching some money these days.....
Yep.. 67 and down is where its atWhy a 69? I would only look at 67 and older. Metal dash and low back seats is where it’s at.

I have a 72 Non super beetle stashed in my back lot. Have 2 motors not installed. Thinking somewhere around 3k
I am either at one of two places. Lake Tahoe or San Francisco Bay Area.I'm assuming you're already on thesamba.com? I would also agree, 67' and older are the best, but the 69 will get you IRS, which is really nice to have. Anything above a 67' should be saved for the off-road guys to chop up into Bajas or build Class 11 cars out of. 67' and older should be saved for the Cal Look folks. I happen to have all 3 versions.
Where are you located? I'm always running across VW's I'd like to own or start a project on, but I'm outta room.
Take that money and run! Great price for your miniI sold the Mini for 35K.
Like I said, it was an offer I couldn't refuse.
But, I did a great deal of work to engine (John Cooper Works upgrade), suspension, brakes,exhaust and on and on.
Body was original, not a scratch on it and not a sign of rust.
The buyer just lost 4 vintage minis in Northern California fires and was looking for the perfectly done mini.
I made money on it but am regretting it.
I've restored and have bought (and sold) most of the popular vintage era cars, American and European, but this one was a blast to drive and regret selling it now.
Soooo, I'm looking for something that might be fun.
Last on my list is Bug and Alfa Romeo late 60's, early 70's GTV.
Just ran it by my neighbor.... his is a 63 ragtop.... its in great shape and apparently he's not selling, too sentimental.... bout it as a broke college kid.... he also recommends www.thesamba.comLooking to buy a older VW Bug.

The van is really sweet.Take that money and run! Great price for your mini
My van has the last panel van body ever not used in production, less than 20 vans still left in the states, and Is be lucky to get $21k for it View attachment 953164
My van is the white one pictured in the poster. My cousin recently sold the zebra moke on the right to a guy in Delaware
That’s a great looking bug, but I really want a hardtop.I have a 69 convertible that we've been thinking about selling to buy a bus. It's got a 1700 in there and runs strong. Interior and top are in perfect shape. Always garaged. It's got a little rust on the back but overall it's really nice.

How much for the cal bug? Any details. Had a 60 Rag that I should have never got rid of.I'm assuming you're already on thesamba.com?

I get it, my dad and I did some nice cars in the late 70s early 80s. Brother worked at Jonny’s speed and chrome and I spent days and hours drooling at Small Car specialties on Ball Rd in Anaheim. My dad has done 3 Buses a Bug and a VW thing since living in Havasu. They are just fun cars.It's not for sale, Believe it or not, my 71 year old Mom owns it now. She has had VW's forever as well as me, and told me I could never sell this one, so its in her garage now. If you're wondering price ranges, I would have been asking probably $15K for that car if I was selling it today.

Not as of yet.Did you ever find anything?
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2443429 here’s a nice oneNot as of yet.
I was bidding on a 67 but the price got crazy.
Wasn’t in great condition and still went for 17k.
Interested to know what the year it is.My buddies dad is selling this. His ad said 67 but then pic w/description said 68. Don't know anything about bugs but can ask for clarification if you'd like.

The tail lights, and front fenders tell me it’s a 67.... it’s been years and I could be wrong, but I think the hub caps are only wide 5 as well which is a dead giveaway it’s not a 68 or later unless converted to wide 5. 68 also had a dash pad.Interested to know what the year it is.
Looks perfect for a project and driving while planning.
Thanks.
