Think the factory museum has some older Beetles but they won't be for sale.

There are quite a few older Kubels, Kubel/Beetle hybrids and Schwimmwagens in existence but they weren't the Reichmarschals so prob will be the most expensive if he manages to sell it.

The comments make him sound a proper septic.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Jesse James' beetle that one.

So VW's attempts at 'defeat' devices go further back than we thought!

Wonder what the auction fee would be if someone does 'buy-it-now'?

Well it's interesting for a number of reasons I'll give you that.
No doubt the owner has been onto the museum to offer it to them but they clearly said no I'd bet.

It needs a total restoration which should only be undertaken by the factory in my opinion. I refer to the his comment, "Drivers side door seal and threshold has some bad rust. I chose not to fix because I wanted to preserve the 100% original interior."

Bad rust, really!
If you look at the original photo you can put your fist through those gaps.

I'm certainly no expert on these but I just don't see it valued at that price or anywhere near it.

But I've no doubt there a few fans of the first owner who could afford the price and pay for the restoration it needs!

Morning Mike, it does seem a tad rusty & as you say will it fetch that money, the rear boot lid seems like it's had a bit of putty too :lol: certainly needs work & is the guy simply pricing it on the age of it & not the quality as such.. O_o

Yeah he's taking a flyer and waiting to see what happens.
We've all done it, well I have. 😉

Remember you can always go down in price but never up! 👍 😀
