Even rarer I guess since this fits a Beatle. There were only a few of those made.

Well.... based on some of the ridiculous prices here, he’s not too far off once you figure in shipping.

Come on now..."Good patina"??
Parts car at best. And while not exorbitant, at $1200, I suppose it could be parted for a break-even. But still.

Is there still a market for this?
I love Kustom cars.. but seems the current "VW Trends" are for more original or rusted ass out.

I mean.. if an old mag cover and show winner brings 8500 in disarray state.. kudos to him.

in a few images it looks india red, others coral like. Always the issue when repainting when colours are close. Looking at original paint cars, it's easier to tell. |

Give the guy some credit ?? I think he meant to put $1.55cents ?? surely ?
Otherwise, here in the UK we just say he's a Dick, is that similar to what you would say in the USA ?

It’s not the mods that make it worth so much, it’s the provenance, it’s been in a music video.

Appraised at $19,000 4 years ago and less mileage, and now it’s worth $23,000? I think appraisers need to look at real world sales, not high end auction sales. If you want that kind of money, take it to Barrett Jackson and see what happens.
