    A bit over the challenge budget but still probably a bargin for the amount of work that went into it.

    That's definitely major cool, but I'd call it Bug Patrol; Rat Patrol needs a machine gun on the roof, and I'm not seeing one on there.

    Definitely not Challenge budget, but I like this one. I spent an hour looking at it at a local cruise-in last year.

    $70K VW

    Wow, a California style Bug, never seen those before...

    70k seems high. beautiful - Yes, lots of work - yes, overpriced - yes.

    I could see it going for 20-30k if it was all original (numbers matching), but with the turbo motor, he has had to update some of the original parts (brakes, steering, transaxle...) to handle the 450+ hp he claims.

    I agree that it is overpriced. But he has all the parts to put it back to stock and it would be all original. This is the most meticulously restored VW I have ever seen. Every last little detail is correct.

    The key is "OBO". I wonder what it would bring at B-J...

    The add on thesamba was deleted yesterday so the split probably sold.
