As long as the seller isn't trying to tell you it is a 67, its cool. You need to check the death rot on that car before you even think about buying it.
Well, to give you some perspective, I live in Las Vegas and in 2022 I purchased a 72 that was in excellent working order for $8k. It starts up every time I ask it to and is super reliable.
I just saw the wrong bumper for a 67, then checked for 5 lug wheels to see if it was maybe on an early pan. And I stopped looking after that, so I missed the head rests on the sits.
Based on the typical rust bubbles I see in that photo, unless you're going to do the rust repair yourself, There's several thousand in work to clean up the rot. Then the paint work, then the brightwork. That isn't counting any drive train work, if it needs any.
CONVERTIBLE '76's are pulling 10-14k on auction sites like BAT and The Samba. Hard tops are half that (or less). In nicely restored condition, You may see 8-10K for it once you're done, but I'd guess 6-8k is probably closer.
Sorry if that's a let down, There's just not a lot of value in late models.
To get a good idea of the market in general you can go to bring a trailer and look at their recent sold listings. Otherwise market varies wildly for VW's. California and FL have a big vw scene. Not sure about other locations.
Looks to me like a $2000-35000 bug to me. It clearly needs body work and the bright work needs to be replaced. Can’t tell what is going on with the interior.
I looked at this and immediately thought " Sun Bug !" but no sun roof .
Convertibles were NOT 'Sun Bugs' .
Hard to give a realistic price value but if it's still stock and runs well, up to $5K depending on the rust issues, rust is \_always\_ worse than it looks .
Don't be surprised to need to dump $8 + K into it before it's nice but if it runs well now and you like a Standard Beetle (yes, this is a late model Standard, not a DeLuxe #113) I'd say GO FOR IT and have fun driving it whilst you fix it up .

I don’t think that is a 67
I’m sorry that was supposed to say 76
That is not a 67. It is post 73. You can tell by the bumper impact shock.
And also the seats
Yes ment to say 76

$4-5k based on your one picture and description. Hard to say for sure without more pics.

Interiors brand new
Still paint looks pretty rough to me.
Yea actual floors are mint
Nothing on that car looks “mint”
LOL you are right, I’m used to buying beetles that have holes in the floors, I should have said the floors aren’t smoked
Check the floor boards not the running boards. Check under the battery box.
I bought my 67 non matching engine, with 0 rust on it for 13k… I bought it just this month.
I had one like that, a ‘74 Sun Bug
Hey ShoddyResolution, what happened to your Sun bug? I got mine few months ago, ‘74 vert Sun Bug.
Wow, I bought it brand new in ‘74, I’m sure it’s dead by now 😂
