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... _________________ regards

Not realistic at all, in my very humble opinion.

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. _________________ Gone but not forgotten: 1950 Hoffman split (restored in 1966) - another 1950 Hoffman split (restored in 1996) |

Yeah, I feel the same way, if the truck 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 |

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. _________________ To his their own PBJ

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