I wouldn’t have one of those hippy mobiles as a gift!
They are pure crap!

You can be sure that some anti-American bought this.

Only worth it if it was red and full of garbage from Thanksgiving dinner.

You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant.
Not that obscure. You can find Arlo singing it on YouTube.

What the #$!! were the bidders smoking?
I could buy several actual automobiles for that price!
BJ auctions are nuts.

Oh my! I wouldn't say that but it did come down to two last bidders and it was great auction theater.

2 Questions:
1. Was it purchased by 11 long haired friends of Jesus?
2. Is it chartreuse?

Cool. But VW Micro-bus does not equal 409.

49 Caddy?
I think there is one for sale around the corner.
Believe it runs, needs paint, not sure what else.
At B-J prices you can probably restore one yourself, and save a lot$.

"But the 1963 23-window Samba shot straight to the moon, thrilling the crowd in the packed auction tent with an astounding sale of $198,000, which comes to $217,800 with bidder fee. This is unexplored territory for a VW bus of any ilk, and by far the most ever paid for one at auction."
