1963 VW bug

[wuerthMDW]

im looking at a 1963 VW bug. it is all stock. he says the motor runs fine along with the tranny. the bug has no brakes. it has a dual port 1600, swing axle rear end and a link pin front end. he has a spare trans axle and a bus tranny he would throw in with the deal. he also has 2 extra front ends for it. it has been sitting in his backyard for about a year an a half. i dont really know much about VW or VW value...
so how much is it worth about??

Back in 1976 I picked up the same thing for $50 and was told by my dad if you can get it running it is yours. These days I'd offer $500 and see if he takes it. Inflation

Go to samba.com...check out prices there. They only have about 50 for sale there. $500 for a running bug with everything there isn't bad. Factor in if there are tags for it, or whether you have to go fishing for a title.

thanks...
it has a title and is registered as non-op

you need to give more info, what's he want for it? what else is wrong with it, any dents, what's the inside look like? what are your plans with it?, custom, baja, parts?

need more info: what's he asking for it? what else is wrong with it? has it been crashed? what does the inside look like? what are your plans for the car(baja, custom, or parts)? ect.

yeah i offered $500 for it at first he wants $900 for it and doesnt seem to want to budge... my dad said he will give me $600 to buy it... the floorpan has little if any rust (i checked it out briefly) but isnt the cleanest.

[wuerthMDW]

he wants $900
minor dents and a couple small cracks
the inside was OK but not the cleanest
the pan had no rust (at least that i saw)
im gonna go baja with it
