As usual Samba comes through. People call BS...Scam..whatever. Tried to get cool cars and parts out there. Want to know why I had so few post over the years?..This is why.

You've got 4 post and 3 pics in 6yrs. on the samba.
calling BS.
think I may have seen that pic before.
Post a pic of you holding the license plate off the split ragtop as varification to your story.
even better-TITLES to show that what your trying to sell actually belongs to you. |

I don't understand the gist of your post bughut. Are you trying to get a teaser going? Are you upset this horde hasn't received enough press- or is losing to the guy in Texas for attention?
One pic and you reference previous posts I don't see makes me think you have very little to do with this N.Mex thing. That is not a barn- it's an intentional beetle storehouse. They weren't "found" there- they were stored there. Big difference. _________________

Gee bughut- other folks who are here frequently know this about "barn finds:"
If you want to sell- you place an ad.
If you want to show off- you tell at least tell a bit of a complete story and provide some pictures and some shred of credentials.
If you are just bragging about someone else's score- you credit them.
You did none of these things. So what is your gig? Are you looking for attention or do you want to sell? Don't use my response as any kind of a barometer- I in no way represent the samba community. Place an ad and provide some details if you are serious- pull up your big boy pants. If you are not, blame us and go about your merry way. _________________

Yeah, I saw the same pic posted on facebook some weeks back. Of course it perked my interest, but after wading through a billion of lame comments, and finding no update comment from the original poster, I gave up. Pretty much what the op has done here as well. _________________ WANTED: Henry Veale Santa Rosa plate frames

Last year on my way back to Arizona I did call a fellow in Clovis NM. I was just passing thru and we did not meet. I think the item shown may be real cannot honestly say. The fellow is retired and at that time wanted to get rid of his VW stuff. So if the items are for sale do be prepared to PAY UP for what ever is offered no dickering either. Honestly I would just pass on it all. I also think that the original poster may possibly have more then one name here on the Samba, not sure. That is my opinion. Also note how the Photo is gone so to me that speaks volumes just sayin. _________________ Volkswagen: We tune what we drive.

The term "Barn Find" has become so grossly overused in all car cultures that it has now become sickening to see and I just turn my head and cough. _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK

It looks as though you can only just barely see the right side of a two-section grille. hmmm.. _________________ nothing |

I dunno - they are out there - I bought this one a couple weeks ago - driven into the barn in 1980 and parked. The straw around it was actually kind of nice since the one brake was stuck - slid easier. I had it towed to my shop shortly after this pic was taken.....

Were those miles on the car when it was sold new? No? then they aren't original. They're aftermarket. Usually installed by a DPO.
I think people generally mean actual miles, as in the speedometer hasn't turned over. But often it has. _________________ The Obsolete Air-Cooled Documentation Project http://oacdp.org/ |

Original miles makes me laugh......Not sure that folks remember that odometer "adjustments" at dealers were the norm years ago. My Dad's 65 magically lost 30,000 miles in the span of a week at the dealer he traded it in at.... _________________ D-Dubya Manx clone - 63 Short pan,1914.

I don't doubt anything until proven. Usually stories have some truth. There was 7 split beetles sold out of a building (maybe not a barn) in North Carolina in the last 2 years all from one place. Stored for a long long time. 3 of them were convertibles. I didn't believe that one but it was true and now they are all gone. I should have laid out the big bucks and bought them all. I heard of an Enzmann car years ago sitting in a garage with 1250 miles on it. That one turned out to be true as well and was bought by Joe Ruiz. They are still out there. |

The gentleman from New Mexico, Jack Quaif, is in transit today (03/28/17) to the site. There was some attorneys ythaty got involved, but now all that is resolved. He is the ONLY contact point for the owners, and has been inventorying the barns since this was originally posted.
There is a seller in Colorado Springs claiming to be the contact point, he is not.
Jack will be posting the cars, the inventory, and the location (according to him) this week _________________ AlwAys VW, (O\_!_/O)

HiTest,
Yeah, this story just resurfaced again this week on FaceBook and I see new traffic here on The Samba. Based on everything I've read, I think "bughut" and "vwluvrs" is the same person (Jack Quaif). Don't know why a bug shop owner in Clovis, NM would have a hand in the estate auction of a man who died in Wellington, KS. Just too bizarre. I called an estate attorney and 2 auction houses in Wellington and nobody knows anything about these cars.
