A screen used shaking herbie just went for $15,000.
It has semaphores so it was a euro... interesting. _________________ '67 Beetle L41

Thanks for the information as it's often hard to tell which cars are really nice and which look like crap in person at these auctions. It's usually a mixture from what I have seen in person. _________________ How to Post Photos

I hope none of you pass out from shock after reading this -- a 1965 21-window Bus sold last Saturday at Barrett-Jackson for $302,500! The new owner won't be using it to go grocery shopping if he wants to avoid getting it dinged.

1964 Meyers Manx, genuine body still in its original magenta gel coat. Recent $44,000 refurbishment (couldn't find the gold bars hidden under the seats), 1776 motor, seats from something American, modern 3 point seat belts, Empi thumb trigger shifter. Sold for $62,500 before premium at the RM Sotheby's Amelia Island sale.
I was flabbergasted to see it go that high. Yeah it was an original Manx body, but the rest of it wasn't anything really special. Sat front and center for the sale. _________________ Yeah I like Herbie AND New Beetles. Got a problem with it? Tough.

Today, a 1961 23-window bus went for $265,000 at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach.
Seems like a trend. |

This is the last year of the oval-window Beetle, and the first year for two exhaust pipes. With a 3-speed manual transmission, this little Beetle runs and drives great. |

Yea but there is not that many Busses up here
I (we) will be there for the whole "thing". Not booked anything yet in or out for the transport division (not sure if my new trailer will be back in time so didn't book one for a regular) but am ready with at least my "little" trailer. I can put my eyes on anything anyone is interested in also. |

Pardon my ignorance, but aren't the tail lights in the wrong place and the engine too big? |
