Volkswagen Beetle not driven since 1964 on sale for $1,000,000 By Gary Gastelu | Fox News If you’d like to know the going rate for traveling back in time, it’s $1,000,000. That’s how much the owners of a 1964 Volkswagen Beetle that has been stored since new, has 23 miles on the odometer and was never washed, are asking for it. The little black bug was purchased by a Portland, Ore., collector named Rudy Zvarich as a backup in case his beloved 1957 ever broke down. Apparently, he wasn’t a fan of the changes VW made for the 1965 model year. With red leatherette upholstery and whitewall tires the only options, the price paid was $1,756.90. Zvarich drove it home from the dealer without insurance, put it away and never drove it again before he died and left it to his nephew Mike and his wife Pam in 2014. I’d be hard to find better stewards for the car, as the couple owns a classic German car repair shop called Burback Motors.
So does the ’64, they've made sure of that, but haven’t taken it for a ride.
“Whoever puts a common car in the corner like this and saves it,” Pam mused. “Maybe a Ferrari, but not a Beetle.” But as much as the Burbacks would like to keep it around, Pam says they have grandkids on the way and it’s time for it to go to someone else who can appreciate it. Whether or not there’s anyone ready to appreciate it to the tune of seven figures is yet to be seen.

I call BS! Unless that bug comes with the preserved carcass of Adolph Hitler there's no way in Hell that it will fetch anywhere close to $1 million... I'll be surprised if it even goes for $100K |
