Wowh, this was NOT a simple buy, I negotiated more than 6 months to buy the real king of patina split, and another couple of months to get my hands on the king of Jade! Mission completed, both cars are in the BBT warehouse now… it’s nice when a plan falls together….:)
The 1950 Split is astonishing all original, rock solid, a driver, a head turner, and before all, soooo cool! This was the kind a car I was looking for already 20 years ago, and even back then, loooooong before Internet messed up everything, I can only remember very few, good and nice like this crossing my paths… I hope I keep the car as long as necessary to do my detail and photoshoot to show the world this “coolest of cool” in detail… but buyers are circling in the air already…
Lady’s and Gentlemen This is the King of Patina, worldwide…
Seems Kings hate to travel alone, as same time the King of Jade arrived at BBT HQ… a very clean, pretty original 1960 ragtop beetle, mainly first paint in the one year only color combination of Jade Green… it was very special indeed, as this car literally sold only minutes after arrival…
An old original rocking chair was found and delivered with the cars, What old roof racks and rear racks are good for…
So sorry Grandma fell of during transport…
We sold the body of a 1960 Beetle, left over is an all correct chassis, with tranny and Front axle, now this can go cheap, You need a rolling chassis from 1960, don’t miss your changes here!
and a picture from the front as well…. You can always email or leave a comment for more pictures!
