Had that(red) one and a Bermuda blue one. Went up scale to a CG, a bus and a Combi. I always felt that if the original was still built today, I would have bought another. The Big difference is, was it worth 15K today, for what was sold here for about 1600?
Is that a ‘67?
That is one sweet car!
My then-boyfriend had a white 1972 Super Beetle when we started dating and then had it painted red. I loved that car. A few years after we got married he gave it back to his dad (he didn’t even tell me - I would have argued against it!) and we bought something else. He regretted it for years until about 2 - 3 years ago, we found a red, 1972 Super Beetle for sale and since we had the money, we bought it. It had been owned by one person, a professor at NC State, who kept it in a garage and when his grandson didn’t want it he sold it. It only had 64,000 miles on it. The real kicker was that it had a 1979 parking sticker from NC State on it and that was the year we started dating. Of course we had to buy it.
Call me crazy but I think if they made a limited retro edition of the Super Beetle, people would line up to buy one. There would be tons of money to be made.
