$1500 for a Notch in good condition would be cheap over here.  Guess you
pay the price for having a vehicle "never" imported into the U.S...

The only Notch I had, a '63, I sold/traded for about $2000, and it had a
new front clip barely welded on and the engine area was completely cut out
for a Type I 2020cc engine.  Needless to say, it was extremely loud inside
the VW.

BTW, how much is shipping, import costs, etc. for a vehicle from Europe?

Now you know why I have a Squareback,
