I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that figure. Yes that’s how much the restoration cost for the above 1973 VW Super Beetle Cabriolet. It is currently for sale by the owner and can be contacted through the Bring a Trailer website. The current asking price is at $23,500. The meticulous restoration was done by Motorworks Restorations located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. You can see extensive photos of the the restoration here. They certainly did an awesome job on it. Although it’s not unusual for restorations of earlier Bugs, later ones(especially Super Beetles) don’t usually get as much attention.
