It isn't a thing, but it only takes money!

$10k is actually pretty reasonable for that all things considered.  They are only original once.

It's hard enough to find anything air-cooled for sale that's a "one owner."  An original '59 one owner with all the records . . . Ten grand really isn't a bad price.  If I had the money . . . I probably would have a nice Allison Buggy and a Beetle Camper and still wouldn't be able to buy it . . . ::)

It's been repainted at least once... but still cool that it is a one owner car with documentation. You'd think for the price they would at least clean all the oil off the engine. Just think, when they bought the car they probably didn't pay but $1000 for it... now after driving it for 52 years they are selling it for ten times what they paid for it. Not a bad deal!
