How Much is to much.

Bill, It's unfortunate that we vdubbers are a dying breed of people. I personally think $2k is a great deal, but we are dealing with people that are not the same as we are. I try explain to my kids that owning an aircooled VW is not just owning a car, it's like a brotherhood, almost a cult. If I drive our Chrysler minivan and wave at someone else driving the same van, they would think I'm nuts. However, no matter what, when driving my bug I can beep or wave, or get waved at, any other aircooled VW and get greeted back with the same respect. It kinda gives a feeling of "belonging". Hopefully someone with that passion for such a classic car will come around soon.

If it's really as solid as it looks in those pictures, I would buy that car for $2900 and drive away feeling like I cheated the seller.

Really makes me feel like I overpaid for the beetle I currently have. ;)

Granted 67 is not my first choice, I would prefer an early 60's. But that car is in such great shape a prospective buyer would be crazy not to seriously consider it.

I'd bet you'd have better luck if the sale was on the west coast.

Great looking car.

Here in the UK you would easily get 3 times the amount you are asking for your car. Being a '67 it is by far the most sort sfter model after an Oval.

Good luck with the sale, if only it was a few thousand miles nearer!

Bill, your car is the one I would get if I didn't have the family of cars I have. I have a 68 "westy" with a rebuilt motor (200 miles) and a bunch of other stuff I would trade.

Bill,

If I had 2k lay> I put my 67 up on ebay last Saturday. I had it for sale on thesamba a while

It ain't over 'till it's over, Bill. Often the best bids come in the last ten mintues. Sure, it's worth $2000! If it were selling close to my place, I'd snap it up in a minute at $2500.

One tip, if it's not too late - photographs: the better they are, the better the sale tends to be, and for strange reasons. Oh, the pop-open rear windows are a major point. Pictures of the dash help, too.

Bill ,....Have Patience.................snipers like to get the best deals on anything they are bidding on.

I say it will sell at your reserve or better.

Am I out of line in my thinking

I would give you $2000 for it right now but I live in the panhandle of Florida and getting it down here would be a pain in the ass I would imagine!

Ebay can work in strange ways, I've had lots of auctions sell at the last moment. I have a parts Bus for sale right now,#2439661929 , at 102.50, and it's been at that price for days. Douglas

If I had a place to garage it, I'd buy it, but I'm still trying to buy a house to replace this place I'm renting. . . . So I have (at the moment) neither the loose cash nor a proper place for such a nice care as that.

Looks like a good car. I could register it in Illinois with no problems, doesn't even have to pass a smog check. It's a nice car that deserves a nice garage. Driving it in the 'burbs would be a challenge, though, with all the Stupid Useless Vehicles that don't see you . . .

OTOH, the VW dealer in Champaign about 4 years ago had a 67 he wanted $9000 for. It was fairly well restored, or appeared to be. As far as I know the dealer still has it. . . .

Some other car dealer 4 years ago had a 71 SB he wanted $4200 for, and it had been in a wreck. Another dealer had a 64 KG with the original California black plate in the trunk and he wanted $9000 for it and it had neither wipers nor turn signals.

I know dealers have to make a profit, but what do they use the profit on? Buying more of that skunkweed they smoke?
