Gold bar or a VW Kombi - you choose!
June 27th 2011 12:17
Certain old air cooled Volkswagens are making crazy money as a look at the results of the Barrett Jackson auction in Orange County last weekend will testify.
The highlight of the sale was a 23 Window Kombi which sold for the astounding figure of $217,800! If you really wanted a Kombi but your pockets will not stretch that far then maybe the 65 Model Kombi in Sealing wax red sold for only $85,000. If Beetles are more your thing they offered plenty of choice. How about a nicely restored oval window Beetle for $30,000 or a pink and white 1972 model Beetle with custom two-tone interior for $33,000?
All of these figures included buyers premium, just as well really!
Since my last post, Herman the Beetle has been treated to numerous shiny bits which have improved his looks no end!
The addition of new front and rear bumpers and a set of Atlas Whitewalls have added the right touch of “Old Skool” that I was hoping for. However the jury is still out on the Herbie stripes which are now gathering dust in my office! What do you think?
Maybe there is hope for Herman the retro VW yet!
