FS: 1964 VW Beetle, 22 original miles. (If you have to ask, "How much?" you can't afford it!)




Imagine your dear old uncle passes away, and he wills you his tool collection and a couple of cars.

Of course, you've known all your life about the old Beetle in storage that he bought as "back up" for his other old Beetle... which he never even drove! (Complete with window stickers, the hubcaps never installed, wipers in boxes, never even washed.)

But did you know the auction estimate would be around A MILLION DOLLARS? (Says Torch on Jalopnik)

Holy cow!!!


I certainly didn't know that was possible. I wonder if the nephew did.
