Barn Find 1956 Beetle For Sale offers over $5000
« 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.

I thought "Barn Finds" had to be more literal... like being found in a barn! ;)

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?

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?

I'll trade you for an Xbox, three biking DVD's and a Denny's coupon. Denny's coupon may be expired, not really sure. I found it on on the ground.

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

I would have a hard time believing that there is no significant rust with a car that had been sitting in grass like that!

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.

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.
