Buying a classic car because you want it is entirely different than buying it to flip it. He states he's always wanted one, but he's only interested in flipping it.

[@Su27_Flanker]

he's not a genuine car person, otherwise he would see the potential in these nice vehicles.

[@EcnalKcin]

That is not how it works when you are in the business of reselling used items. You buy what you yourself want to have, but never buy anything you can't make money on. So when you get tired of it, as you inevitably will, you can sell it, or put it up for sale and use it while it sells. The idea of buying something just have it indefinitely without a care for it's actual value is not good business, and is why so many people are broke.

[@TalkingHands308]

But even if he wanted it for himself, I'm pretty sure he would still want to restore it, and it just doesn't make sense to pay someone for something that basically requires the entire value of the finished product to restore it. At that rate, he should just go look for an already restored one and buy it at that price...

[@brentfarvors192]

Not really; The whole point of owning a collector car is that it will appreciate no matter what. This wasn't "that car", because no one cares about your hobby project; Any serious investor wants the car as original to factory as possible. Whenever you "customize", anything, be prepared to be throwing your $ away...Just installing second hand seats, devalued the car signifigantly...

Was a fun car to drive but had very little power and poor brakes. I got married in March of 73 and my first son was born in January of 74 so I had to sell it.

I'll bet the body is full of Bondo too. My brother bought a real cherry looking white '59 K.G. in the mid 60's and then he had some minor fender benders. That exposed all the Bondo and it was loaded with it. Those aluminum bodies were very expensive to fix, that is when you could find a body shop to fix them. So many body shops would pound out what they could and Bondo it smooth. I guess it remained "hand built" that way. LOL!

Why cant the cars be like that today :(

[@badbiker666]

My first car was a 1971 Karmann Ghia convertible. I bought it in 1975 for $75 and drove it until the wheels fell off. Honestly I can't remember how I got rid of it but my next car was a 1970 Camaro. Now THAT was a POS that barley lasted a year. I have extremely fond memories of that VW!

[@thomastk6309]

That's really not the type of car you restore back to original. It's meant to be upgraded and tinkered with

[@Marshimized]

still my dad's dream car, he has a v12 in his shop that he's been waiting to buy off his friend for years, i feel like if he ever gets it, this is the car he's going to stuff it in

Don't know what to do without an emergency brake? then don't buy a late model car as they no longer have one.

[@SophiaAphrodite]

It is a safety feature. Show me a car without one. My sister has a 2019 and it has one.

I wonder why he doesnt just bring the expert with him in the first place😂

[@rexjolles]

I like those old karmann ghias too. But those rims! Barf. The seats, the everything. Poor ghia

[@countryjohn8450]

That expert was iffy at best lol

[@michaelbenoit248]

I see where people put all these cool mods into something & taken out of perspective & sometimes ask way too much for something that’s worth 1/2 the price of asking if it was all working right, or where people change tons of parts on something like Rotors, calipers, brake lines in a warmer climate like Arizona or California. What happened in the video where people overmodify something is a common thing I see all the time on the car/vehicle market mainly on the older trucks. This is why it’s hard sometimes to find an older good clean original cuz people modify the crap out of something, blow it up, then scrap it.

[@LudditeK100]

“Once I found there was no emergency brake, what do we do in an emergency?!” Wait.... you were serious about that? You do not use the handbrake in an emergency haha

[@PanfishingJournal]

How would you like your steak prepared? Rick - Look, I really have no idea about these things. Let me call a guy I know who knows about this stuff.

[@aztlanmora]

$4500 As-Is? Hells no. This car is worth about $15k right now just the way it is

[@MadmaxMusic93]

Says who? Blue book or your own book? 🤣🤣🤣

[@aztlanmora]

@@MadmaxMusic93 bluebook? Didn't you know kbb only goes to 1992. If you know about vw you would know they are pricey

My dad had a yellow one with duel Webber's back in the mid 80s. We drove from Garden Grove to San Diego and back every day doing 100mph for a job. Cool car until the engine let go.

Anyone here that details : Did those swirls bother you? Wiping without lube? Wiping in direct sunlight
