That is a funny one right there. They will attempt to sell almost anything for a high price on E-BAY.

This being a Pontiac forum, I guess you guys don't know...but there are some people out there that will pay BIG money for the VWs...especially the pre '60s buses.
Look at the bidding on that one..
That's why I stick to the '68 and later Beetles...They're still great little cars but have hardly any value monetarily speaking.

A couple have gone for 100k at barrett-jackson over the last couple years. I almost choked when I watched that one last year go for 100k.

I am very aware how much people will pay for these things. I did upholsetery work for 10 years (20 years ago) and people (even then) would spend a fortune on these things. The earlier Beetles go for a lot as well. These people bidding on this one will have a whole lot of work and a lot more money to put into this one, though. I beleive some of the Hemi powered Mopars that go across the auction probably cost almost as much to restore as the lower bids are going for. A lot of the "good" vehicles have already been restored IMO. A lot of what people are working with now is the junk that is left-hence the stuff you see on Craigslist, and the high cost of restoration.

Might almost be worth $1500 for the running gear. Especially the 350 turbohydric.

Exactly. Needs to be "crosshatched" (yet it is bored over). A block without main caps is like a foot with no toes on it. Worthless.

Actually, it's pretty easy because this one has a "350 Turbohydric", so the Muncie is just a bit moist and soiled.

Hey, a 350 Turbo Hydramatic Muncie 4 speed. Now that has to be rare. Could be in big demand too. Really rare would be the 400 version.
