Nice car, but wow…70k for a bug, even a nice one with docs etc, seems steep.


I was surprised at the low price for what seems like a desirable collector’s item, but I know nothing about the car collector market.


It looks like a rare type, along with perfect condition and original matching, so it all lines up - and that price is a "we'll sell when we want to" price.


Beetle prices have risen, though, even pre-pandemic.

If this is a true split-window, it's the most rare mass-produced bug. I'm not sure I'd pay more than 50K for it, but it's definitely a rare specimen.


Replacement coil... Tell him he's dreaming.


It’s brown, yes, but it’s not a spyder. Bummer


But it has crotch coolers! And it's a perfect chestnut brown!
