Not really a whine, but shouldn't a jan '49 split be the model with narrow gas tank, banana bumpers, football interior mirror, thick ring rear lights, decklid with license plate pressing, ... ?

I could understand the price for a matching number, genuine early '49 split, but not for a late '49 with later engine.

For sure not jan. 49
It would have a front turn handle hood, metal gloveboxes, small fuel tank and more early features then.
This one even has the "wave" in the door glass. When did that come? Mid 50?

What's the value on those?

I see a lot of other stuff he's selling that seems crazy to me and also some ads that are high but might sell if someone is not willing to wait.

Would love to hear opinions on this ad:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1952984

Seems high to me but maybe not astronomical with these parts and title? I would not touch it with a 10' pole but that's me. If it was an OG sunroof car then maybe....

This is the same seller from a couple posts above where someone said his stuff is double the value.

These are not VW wheels.
I emailed this guy to correct his ad but anyone know what car they belong to?

can't really see it well enough, but the Tempo Matador did come with 16 inch wheels, just a little wider than a beetle or bus rim.

Sure seems too good to be true to me. That looks like one of those rare counter-rotating 25hp motors too...😏

Yes, SCAM. He got 2 ads auto-deleted by the scam filter first too but that last one made it through.

Thanks to the people who reported it, including patsey77

So this is a serious question.

What exactly is happening to our hobby? Yes I still call it a hobby.

Does anybody know what "rare" means, it means you cant find one, or they only made so many and they are like hens teeth.

Lets revisit about 10-15 years ago. If you wanted a split/oval or whatever else you were interested in (VW) you could go out and find it, without question.

Lets go back to current day, If you wanted a split/oval or whatever else you were interested in (VW) you could go out and find it, without question.

What am I missing?

What's missing for me is that the term "rare" is not used in the ad, unless I'm Jonesing, and I read it 4 times. Confused

I dont think rare needs to be included in the ad, he's asking 30K for a rusted and banged up body with a couple parts attached.

If the word rare had been used, he maybe asking 60K.

So if rare wouldn't be how you describe this car (basket case), what exactly warrants a 30K asking price? For 27 years I have been dealing in VW's, it has gone from a gentleman hobby to something that really cant be described. I'm just wondering if someone can shed the light.
