Thumbs up

Very nice looking rides. But my favorite would have to be the air-cooled one - it looks flawless & authentic.

Love the OB too. Can't see the taillights but it has to be between a 58 and 62. Nice collection tho I wouldn't want to pay your monthly gas bill

Taillights rule out it being a 62 unless they're not OE.
Need to open the door so we can see if it has a gas gauge. No gas guage = 58 to 60

You won't get $50K out of an oval rag unless it's a 55 or older 3 fold rag. The 56-57 (two folds) pretty much top out at $30K for a very nice restoration. I gave this swap serious consideration especially since it already had a 1835 with twin Webers and I'd be able to retrofit A/C and not lose a bunch of power. Exterior was servicable but the interior was shot. I used to love restoring them and would gladly assist someone else, but at this point, I didn't want a project on my hands.
Plus, I love my NB
