Hagerty’s valuation of a 1963 VW Beetle with sliding roof in excellent condition is around $45,000, and for concourse $75,000. What you’re seeing here are the ‘now’ photos before we get started. When we get done, it may not be ‘concourse’, but it will have all new or rebuilt everything and for sure be an excellent show car.
So you know about us, we restored and sold a 1957 Chevy Nomad with LS3 Corvette motor at the Mecum Auction in Monterrey last year for $179,000. We also rebuilt a BMW, 3.0 CSi for a client who auctioned it for over $160,000.00. For photos of our work, check out our FB page /classicridesfactory.
Why am I advertising this VW now? Because I want to build it for someone, not just complete it and then find a buyer. How about this? Let’s put a value of $40,000.00 on the finished product. We begin with 1/4 down for which we disassemble it, get the motor and trans out for rebuild, do all the body and paint prep work, get the seats out to be reupholstered, and the sunroof prepared for its new top. The next 1/4 comes after the body is painted and the inside is prepared. The next ¼ comes after the VW is reassembled and interior done, new carpets, panels, top, dash items, and the motor and trans installed and the car running.
The last payment will be adjusted up or down relative to the appraised value of this VW when it is done. If you would like us to build this VW for you, please call me. We could have it completed in 3 - 4 months. I added a couple of other project photos including a BMW 2002 with a sunroof to give you an idea of how great this VW will be when we are done. Thanks!.
