Keep it. You'll regret selling it. The $2000.00 will be gone, and so will the car. My 67 has been parked close to 6 years. It was my daily driver when I was in NOR CAL, but now that I'm in Missouri, it just sits, and waits. Dean

my first car was an orange 72 super beetle, on which some previous owner had installed woodgrained sides. i traded it for a 1983 t-bird. i would love to have my bug back now.

you know when it goes youre going to have to change your user name right?

 

[karfer67]

can i do that? maybe flathead67? but i am sorta known as karfer67

Looks like a pretty solid car, easy project to finish. Your shoebox is a cool car, but this bug could be so much cooler. Sell the ford, keep this!

 

[karfer67]

it is just not what i want right now and it is a very very solid car and i dont want it to rot. i have made my peace and no i am not selling it because i just got the shoebox i just want to see it go to a good home

USPS flat rate box???

Seriously... the price is right dude! I dont think I would let it go for less than what your asking, heck Ive seen waaay worse go for twice the price!!!

i agree shows how bad the economy is. the pan is perfect on this bug no rust, the heater chanels are perfect it really just needs a paint job, and reg. believe it or not i have had it up for active sale for about a week and not one offer just people asking me if i still have it and those telling me not to sell it. i am starting to become tempted to paint it and reg it then sell it but i dont want to loose more money on this car as it sits i have around 4500 in this car finding all the correct parts for it and such. i know the paint looks ugly i think that is the big thing that holds it back. but once u look under it and inside u understand how nice this bug could be with a paintjob. oh well i even put up that i would trade it for a more modern car (for my gf) and no bites.

Here are a few shots of my 67. Had to sell it to get a family car. Dont regret it.... because you gotta do what you gotta do, and family was way more important at the time.

I bought it for $400 from the original owner who used it as a daily driver to get back and forth to work at Boeing since it was new. It had a little over 100k miles on it when I got it and it was amazingly solid. It did have some usual rust in the rockers but that was it. It took me almost 10 years to get it to this point. I built the engine, did the bodywork and paint, and everything else except stitch the interior.

Now this one I wish I still had, It was a 67 Type 3 that I picked up for $50 with no engine. At the time I worked for a local VW dealership and they sold me a complete used (and good running) tpye 3 engine for another $50. I had to evict a bum that was using it as his house. At any rate I stuck the motor in it and it drove just fine, then got a wild hair and chopped the top, The chop was 90% done and I even had the windshield cut down and fitted. Ended up trading it off for a buggy... to this day I dont know why, pretty stupid trade on my part. I wish I could find it!

Good luck with the sale!
