ID this Splittie (VW Bus)




can anybody figure out what it is exactly and how much it might be worth??

I know it is a bad pic, but the Texas Engineer I dispatched to take the photo was unable to correctly optimize the Android Phone Image Capture Process in the time allotted.

We have a bet on how much it might be worth...

We just had a Volkswagon swap meet/car show thing about a mile away. We walked over there and checked em all out. Volkswagens are still cool. lots of really nice flatbed buses, micro buses, a lot of buses.
Some bugs, squarebacks, ghias, notchbacks and fastbacks. I haven't seen a fastback since my friend Les had one in high school.
Very cool.

Hard to tell but I don't think it's a barndoor, more like a '54.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

The bigger question, is how much is this worth?

A '54 would be a barndoor.
