Anyone have an interest in a 1959 Borgward?



My brother recently inherited 2 of them, a 1959 2 seater coupe like the picture above, and one station
wagon about the same year, both with white paint. Both ran when parked back in 1986, believe that's
the year my brother mentioned. Located in Hays ks.

Looks the same, around $20k
Curious if it’s a flat 4 engine, some had that setup

I like the looks of the truck

The poster said neither had been moved since 1986 when they were parked, while the one pictured looks fully restored

Guess the wagon was a bad rust bucket with missing engine parts. 30 years of sitting on a farm,
mice & rats ate up the interiors & wiring. Body was decent on the coupe though.
