In 1957, a man walked into a Volkswagen showroom in Fort Wayne, Indiana and drove home with a brand new Black on Red Beetle. 57 years later, after enjoying the car over the course of more than 125,000 miles, that same Beetle has been restored and is available for sale for only the second time. Some personal touches were added at the time of delivery; otherwise it is all factory correct after a bare-metal repaint, fresh interior, new rubber and trim, the list goes on. A dealer-prepped undercoating in 1957 assured a solid rust-free undercarriage and the rest has been brought back to what appears to be a very high standard. Appreciation for Oval Windows is climbing, with over a 10% jump in the last year. The stories that this little Bug could tell are beyond any asking price, but it is being offered at no reserve with zero bids at the time of this writing. Find it here on eBay in Elgin NE with an opening bid of $10,000.
