Title: Just my imagination? Post by: Dave Rosique on April 25, 2009, 04:32:58 am Or does this "52 Split" look a little odd ::) http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=776691 Only $15K ;D ~DR. Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: Rennsurfer on April 25, 2009, 04:48:35 am A LITTLE odd? Wrong dash and a few other bits... but, yeah. I see what you mean. Still, someone should make the purchase and save the poor thing.
Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: Fastbrit on April 25, 2009, 08:53:46 am A LITTLE odd? Wrong dash and a few other bits... It's a Zwitter. so correct dash. ;)OK, let's correct that... could be a Zwitter or could be a complete abortion! Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: Black Sheep on April 25, 2009, 09:18:38 am Looks like a 53 Zwitter , but that rear window , doe's anyone else think the shape looks a little odd , almost like a oval with a bar grafted in ???
could be the rubbers ??? Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: roland on April 25, 2009, 09:45:38 am the glove box lid doesn't look right...
Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: JS on April 25, 2009, 10:39:00 am Shape of the rear windows looks strange indeed. And are they plexiglass?
Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: LuftsickTero on April 25, 2009, 10:45:55 am the glove box lid doesn't look right... nothing in the dash does, looks like it has been welded shut and the ashtray and speaker grill look like added back again, also the doors, tail-lights etc are too new Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: Black Sheep on April 25, 2009, 11:10:20 am LHD to RHD conversion , thats a LHD glove box lid
Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: henk on April 25, 2009, 12:52:38 pm even if everything is correct i have seen much better ones for that price
henk!!! Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: Dave Rosique on April 25, 2009, 15:27:42 pm We have a winner! 49 Rag & JS are on it. Somebody split the oval on this one. A few other things I noticed: Non grooved doors with windwings, home made RHD dash. I hate to pick it apart, but $15,000??? Maybe it's $1,500... if so, I'll buy it and Baja it ;D ~DR. Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: Black Sheep on April 25, 2009, 16:08:03 pm All in a day's work for your average mild mannered VW enthusiast ::)
Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: Rennsurfer on April 25, 2009, 16:22:31 pm the glove box lid doesn't look right... Yeah... something still doesn't look correct about the dash. Title: Re: Just my imagination? Post by: Speed-Randy on April 26, 2009, 01:56:47 am back in the 80's there was a guy that lived in bellflower on rosecrans just west of bellflower blvd that took ovals and added the split to them. i wonder if it could be one of his babies. i forget his name, but i used to drive by his house everyday on the way home from my job at the arco station on bellflower and rosecrans

Wow, back when they actually had mechanics at service stations... Anyway, we were almost neighbors! I grew up in Lakewood (Paramount & Del Amo), moved to Long Beach (Clark & Del Amo), my shop was in Bellflower (Clark & Aretsia), and I spent plenty of time in Norwalk at Traffic Court :o ::) ;D ~DR.
