It's hard to man up and admit you mangled a car. I had a 1954 RHD 23-window that was probably worse off when I sold it. I paid $5k for in '98, sold it in '01 for $10k, after doing a bunch of "repairs" (not a good car to learn on). That guy sold it to a limy in '04 for $45k. The last trade I heard was ~$65kUSD. The funny thing is, the bus is still pretty much in the same shape as when it left my hands. I think each person buys it sight-unseen, gets it, has a huge case of WFT? buyer's remorse and then starts planning the next flip.
This speedster find reminds of this:
TheSamba.com :: View topic - VW38 found in Lithuania - a perfect example of an über rare car finding the right home before anyone tries to 'fix' anything. This car was a huge POS when it was found, but it went to the perfect home for restoration; there is not one single detail upon which I could have matched, much less improved.
