Equipment
23-Window model with hub caps, whitewalls, VDO dash clock, three row seating, Safari windshield.
Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Fully restored 200 miles ago. Gorgeous paint and brightwork. Excellent interior. Like new underneath. Volkswagens leak oil, though, and some has dripped out onto the left rear wheel and likely is the source of the stained whitewall tire. That takes little away from this phenomenally restored genuine 23-window. Restored from an example found in the woods in Oregon, it is spectacular.
Market commentary
There was a time when these were so cheap that someone would do such a thing as just leave one in the woods. Six figures for an old microbus that someone abandoned to Mother Nature certainly seems a bit crazy, but in the world of top-notch restored 23-Windows, it's pretty much the going rate.
