USD350k?????????????? Really? That's R3,857million and although I love VW's as much as the next guy (and I really do think it's absolutely fantastic that some of the rarer versions like this barndoor have been so well preserved) in my opinion some folks are just plain pulling the hoender through the poephol with those prices now.

The Barrett Jackson Samba from a few years back was completely off the wall too and even though I thought it was a rediculous price, it was one of the most pristine versions of a Samba that I have ever seen but honestly, for what is is, this price is totally ludicrous.

All power to them if they get it sold at that price though.
Decide where you stand ... then stand there!
