Brand new 1964 VW Beetle might sell for $1M at auction.

My third thread on how to spend a million at auction lol.
Between this one, an old bottle and a destroyed artwork I'd spend my money here no doubt.
Really cool.

Awesome! Now that's something that has real value, not a stupid bottle of booze or self destructing art.

If the same happened with a sports Rolex, how much would a 1964 NOS Sub or GMT go for at auction? Any idea? I don't have a clue.

For some reason no matter how much money I could possibly have I just couldn’t see paying that kind of money for a VW. Maybe because I was never willing to pay what they charged back then either. Her ice may have been a cool movie but the VW never appealed that much to me.

Back in 1978 I bought my then wife a 1964 VW.
They deserved each other.
