Market commentary

Sold by Gooding at Amelia in 2013 for $99,000, this Microbus still is in pristine restored condition. The bigger engine and later transmission have little effect on value, but have a major impact on driveability, although the Microbus is so pretty its unlikely to see much driving other than on and off show fields. Six figures is a lot for what was originally an economy vehicle, but the appeal is universal and this it what a prime example costs.
