Barrett-Jackson just wrapped up its 46th annual Scottsdale auction, which set all kinds of records, including the sale of Kindig-It Design’s 1965 21-Window Deluxe Bus for $302,500 (pictured above and below). Not only did that bus set an auction record, it was the highest priced Volkswagen in Scottsdale that week. While it outdid the next closest VW by quite a margin, it wasn’t the only high priced VW at the show. Here, are the highest priced VWs from the auction:
1. $302,500: 1965 Type II 21-Window Deluxe Bus
Featured on Velocity Channel’s Bitchin’ Rides, this microbus was completely restored by Kindig-it Design and repainted in Mercedes Black and Bentley Magnolia White. With a 1915cc 120 hp flat four out back and a 4-speed transmission, this bus sits on 17″ wheels.
2. $143,000: 1967 21-Window Deluxe Bus
Not sure if you noticed a theme here, but we have another 21-window bus in black and white, but this time the colors are flipped and it has a 2,027 cc engine. Comes with a rare dash clock and was the benefited from a detailed restoration.
3. $39,050: 1979 Super Beetle Convertible
This Super Beetle was purchased new in 1979 alongside number nine in our list. The owner wanted a Beetle, but couldn’t pick between River Blue and Lemon Yellow. So he did what any of us would have done if we could and bought both.
4. $38,500: 1968 Bay-Window Custom Bus
Bought new in Fresno, this customized bay window has only known two owners, one of whom sent it to a shop to have it lowered and painted Burnt Copper and white. With limo-style seating inside and a VW themed surf board, this is the perfect car for pretending you’re in Fresno.
5. $38,500: 1979 Super Beetle Convertible
One of four drop top Super Beetles from the late ’70s on this list, this epilogue edition celebrated the very first convertible Beetle prototype ever produced (in 1938) and so is all black, much like my soul. One of the rarest VWs produced, this example has been restored with careful attention to detail.
6. $36,300: 1964 Beetle Custom Woody Wagon
This woody wagon conversion is certainly… wooden. And also signed by George Barris, the so called King of the Kustomizers.
7. $34,100: 1956 Beetle Sunroof Sedan
This orange and cream oval window was restored well and has a sunroof. A beautiful example of an early Beetle.
8. $33,000: 1969 Custom Pickup
A rare double-cab custom pickup, this VW was finished in a custom woody wrap and was stored in the Gallatin Motors showroom in Bozeman, Montana for the last two years.
9. $32,450: 1979 Super Beetle Convertible
See entry 3
10. $29,700: 1978 Super Beetle Convertible
This one owner convertible Super Beetle only has 488 miles on it from new. Comes with original sales invoice and window sticker.
