Dont feel alone, there are plenty new members who pop up on this forum who with little to no time spent here, ask for the "family jewels" with the intention of exporting or making a quick buck. All these posts get removed.
You sir with 5 posts are asking for rare vehicles and I assume hoping to receive them at a low cost - your purposes for these are unknown, thus you are treated equally.
There are plenty posts on gumtree which are posted here on this forum which suffice as projects and abandoned projects.

Spend some time on the forum, get to know a couple of people, start a thread about your 59 beetle and your posts for the family jewels might not be removed.
No offense, hope you understand.

Thanks for the reply and not deleting this post too. I spend at least a hour every day on this forum and have contacted some other moderators asking them if they had anything to sell. I got very friendly replies and was given advice not too give up but keep on searching.
I did restore airplanes, motorcycles, houses, furniture etc but never a split bus. I did mention in my introduction that I do not own a 59 beetle but could not get registered. How do you think one has to meet people if your posts get deleted, one gets the impression that you want too keep the family jewels for yourself?
No offence taken and I hope you understand too.

Maybe more than a one liner would have been better received, and elicited some response, as your subsequent post has. Good luck, they are out there
