A Couple Old & Older VW's I'm Parting With...

I've got two VW's I'm parting with via BaT auctions. Both have been accepted but are about 4 weeks out from going live, (been about the current wait time). If someone here has interest in either prior to please message me for details, so we can chat. I have over 250 pictures and videos of each.

The 1962 Beetle has had one exterior repaint and has an unrestored original interior, original 40hp engine and 4sp transmission. Tons of documentation, manuals and original window sticker. Pre-auction, $16.5K w/room for negotiation.

The 1987 Vanagon 4WD Syncro "Weekender" edition has a built 2.3L water-boxer (3 years & $10K ago) and a rebuilt 4spd transmission (with a 5th "Gelaende" gear). About $60K in receipts with actually more spent on this build. Pre-auction ask is $45K with a little wiggle room.

Thanks,
Peter

Per request, some extra Beetle pics...

That Beetle is awesome :)

Thank you! It is pretty special, very original. Anthracite Grey is a great and a not often seen color.

I've seen this Beetle in person just last month, it's a fantastic example. Should do well on BaT.

I second that!

How comfortable and reliable are those Vanagon 4WD Syncro "Weekender"s ?

Richard, in this case, very! This one has had all the big money spent on it already. Not many platforms around where you get a capable 4WD camper with a queen bed that fits in a single parking spot. No pop-top to leak & mildew and no extra 800 lbs of gear (cabinetry, stove/sink etc) in an already under powered vehicle. I sent you a separate email with all of the details on the van.

Beetle is now live..ends Thurs 12/10.

Pete,
Having owned both of what you have for sale, it looks like both are quality vehicles that are fairly priced. I think the bug should do more than your asking.
Still own a 87 Syncro vanagon weekender and I have sent you a PM asking about the mounting of the Recaro seats in the van.
