Hi All-

Apologies if this has been posted. I was searching for a single thread that listed the highest prices ever obtained for a VW Thing at auction and couldn't find it. I remember a couple years back, one broke the $53k mark.

Recently, it appears a 759 orig mile example sold at auction for $63k!

This is from Bring a Trailer which is an auction site. If you scroll down a bit you can see prices there
