Title: Barn Find 1956 Beetle For Sale offers over $5000
Post by: Nqmad on June 28, 2012, 09:35:14 AM: I have an original 1956 Beetle for sale. It was found after being parked for 15 years. It is in amazing condition, with very little rust, 95% complete. The only things it seems to be missing is the gear shift knob, hub caps, and the spare. Please email questions.

Email me and I can send you the link to photos.

Post by: Geoff on June 28, 2012, 06:48:15 PM: Yeah where's the barn? Blackberry bushed don't count.
I hear this has no papers as well? Do you own this or is it still belong to the owner of this property?

Post by: BUSDADDY on June 28, 2012, 07:48:37 PM: Samba ad says 10 years in a barn, this one says 15 parked, maybe it was in a barn and pushed out 5 years ago?

Perhaps it was close to the barn so it's a near barn find?

It "appears to drive perfectly" only when the hub caps are on and it's out of the hay berry barn.

Post by: rolls and pleats on June 30, 2012, 07:15:41 AM: I would have a hard time believing that there is no significant rust with a car that had been sitting in grass like that!

Post by: pittwagen on June 30, 2012, 01:55:40 PM: So we should go for a view! All the chirping on here has probably scared the poor guy shitless.

And what about that Rabbit? Definitely a late one. I could use another one of those.

Post by: number3 on June 30, 2012, 02:19:48 PM: I agree with Steveo. You never know it might be as advertised. I do know it's from the US which I assume is where the barn was located.
