Hagerty Valuation Tools® uses vehicle values from our own independently published Hagerty Price Guide, a
respected and definitive resource for post-war cars and trucks. To determine this value, Hagerty analyzes
sources including auctions, dealer sales and peer-to-peer sales. We also note condition, history, optional
equipment, quality of restoration, degree of documentation, and sales venue, just to name a few.

Also incorporated into vehicle values are inventory, demand, recent trends of similar vehicles, movement within
related market segments, and general directions of the vehicle market overall.

This report is an up-to-date and accurate representation of data currently available for the vehicle(s) requested.

 MODEL OVERVIEW

The first substantial changes to the VW Beetle took place not at the insistence of VW engineers but as a
result of U.S. government regulations. The charming painted dash went away in favor of a black padded one
and the pretty ivory steering wheel was replaced by a drab black four spoke “safety” design. Other attractive
details like contrasting seat piping went away around this time too. One peculiar option offered during this
period on both the Beetle and Karmann-Ghia was a clutchless semi-automatic transmission called an
“Automatic Stickshift.” Fortunately, the famous VW quality remained to the end, by which time only the
cabriolet was offered in the U.S. Production continued in Brazil and Mexico until quite recently. Parts are
quite inexpensive and easy to find, and air-cooled Volkswagens are very easy to work on and keep running.
Any Beetle makes an ideal first collector car.

 CURRENT & HISTORICAL VALUES

Prices assumes that no major modifications to the vehicle are present.

#1 Concours $24,900
Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best vehicle, in the right colors, driving onto the lawn at
the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the vehicle has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are
mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and materials used are correct and superbly fitted. The one word description for #1 vehicles
is "concours."

#2 Excellent $18,400
#2 vehicles could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 vehicles that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned
observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome,
glass and finishes will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate
from the engine. The vehicle will drive as a new vehicle of its era would. The one word description for #2 vehicles is "excellent."

#3 Good $9,800
#3 vehicles could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 vehicle, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a
fresh paint job or a new, correct interior where applicable. #3 vehicles drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts.
These vehicles are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will
not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 vehicle.

#4 Fair $5,100
#4 vehicles are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield
might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the body has a minor dent. Split seams or a cracked dash, where
applicable, might be present. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or other non-stock
additions might be present. A #4 vehicle can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4
vehicle.
