This tiny car has a significant historical significance and a high price tag.
The $126,000.00 Herbie last year was a pricey bug. But wait! For $295,000 (about EUR268,184), anyone can purchase one of the 40 remaining KdF Type 60 Beetles. The Beetle was restored in June 1943 and delivered to the German Red Cross in Potsdam–Babelsberg, Berlin, Germany. It is also mentioned in VW’s archives, as well as the KdF registry. This car’s history is well-documented.
It is rare to see the KdF Type 60 Beetle, considering it was only built in small numbers between 1937 and 1944. This one is in such good condition that it’s a rare opportunity. The asking price for this bug is astronomical and it’s difficult to imagine anyone willing to pay that. Although it is possible that the semaphore turn signals could lure potential buyers to a sinister-looking bug with a sinister appearance, $300k seems insanely high for a Beetle.
