Nice looking car but what an arsehole for making a comment like that! You can tell he's one of those car snobs you get at shows.

He's right though... didn't Rez find a field full of them the other day?

Really nice looking car... in the pics, I wonder how it really looks.

(UNLIKE THE 70'S UNWANTED CARS).WTF. I can understand some people attuide on this, a beetle is a beetle no matter what year it is 50s, 60s, 70s they are all part of the cars history.Iast year America's most beautiful beetle was a 70s beetle, the visitor choice at Volksworld show this year was a 70s beetle,so WTF!!!!

 

[Endfloat]

He's talking through his arse, Brendan.

 

[JustinOval]

Not really. A '61 will always be more desirable than a mid '70s beetle, whether you agree or not; it's just a fact.

I wouldn't take any offence by that - you bought your car because it's what you want, not to seek approval of your peers, so it doesn't really matter.

 

[JustinOval]

Oh, and I mean more desirable in terms of the market, not the individual. I think he's justified in highlighting that in the advert.

I bought my car, becaues it was the best car that I could buy at the time,and it was a beetle, you are probably right that 50s 60s cars are more desirable, my problem is that some people write off 70s beetle altogether

That attitude is slowly changing..

 

[BRENDANGOBRIEN]

Going by the turn out of 70s beetles at this years Volksworld show I think, Yes it is.

 

[JustinOval]

I'd still like to see pics of that '61 as it looks now.

 

[BRENDANGOBRIEN]

It look good when the pics were taken.

 

[beetlebug]

hey, found a picture of the fool who posted the ad.........

i love my 70's cars!!

 

[Aidan]

If any of you have a nice lateish '70's Beetle that you don't want then I'll be only to happy to take it off your hands (unwanted means free right? )

 

[Endfloat]

There's a difference between unwanted and less desirable. Thats the point I'm trying to make. I bought a 1303 cause that's what I wanted, so clearly they're not unwanted!

 

[duts]

its amazin what starts a debate/row?? i'd take any year of beetle at the mo

 

[69bug]

At the end of the day it's people's own preference of what VW they like, suits them, what they can afford at the time....No matter what you drive, or are working on, you'll always get someone's who doesn't like it......that's norm.....

"Everyone to their own" I say......

 

[kongomush]

I have a 70's Beetle but am not so keen to put a huge amount of money into it because I know that someday I'll have an early 60's one and I'll put my money & energy into that. As much as I love the Beetle in general, there's something about the 50's/60's ones that do it for me.... my two cents...
