Ok I'm trying to wrap my brain around this one.
I have owned a December 1952 Zwitter now for 25 years, but when I saw this Zwitter project on ebay for $25,000 I was wondering how realistic is the price?

not a zwitter aficionado, but i would be shocked if somebody offered me that kind of money for my 53 ragtop oval, and it is still together...

Not realistic at all, in my very humble opinion.

Quote:
(rear not original to car)has 75 percent of the original parts.. . . . ..car NEEDS to have metal and body work


A LOT of work and a LOT of rare parts needed.

I see restored Zwitters listed at amazingly high prices but I don't see them selling.

I feel it's realistic if the 18-wheeler is included.

Anyone call on the red 51 split that was supposedly made in 1949.so many things wrong with that car . Look at the funky bumpers. Look like they came off an old Volvo. Probably scabbed together in mexico. I would skip that one

That one has been listed and relisted here and on eBay for months now.

This was originally listed by the PO for about $15-18K, if I remember correctly?

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1922643

And it still has the wrong fenders, hood, decklid, bumpers, pan, engine, taillights, seats, etc.

Now $24K obo. Is a 47 so rare that it can pull this price in this condition with so many incorrect parts?

Don't get me wrong, seeing a 47 is pretty cool, but maybe I'm underestimating its value?

Not only is this price completely out of the question the owner of the car doesn't even know this guy placed an ad! The car is located in Canada and was offered for considerably less.

i understand flipping but this is pretty ridiculous.

If I had any metal skills I would make an effort to try to fix this, way over my skill level.
