Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

4 speed, no radio, red steel wheels, trim rings, chrome lug nuts, whitewalls. A little wavy filler in right side. Good paint, chrome, interior and top. Chassis repainted but not like new. Fair engine compartment.

Market commentary

Funky paint with a little red metalflake added to give it sparkle, a car with more eye appeal than real value, cosmetically done to juice it up under the auction lights. It worked, because this is a fantastic price for a seriously mediocre VW sold at the Barrett Jackson Orange County sale last May for $17,600.
