Market Highlights
- The Air-Cooled Economy: In early 2026, air-cooled Volkswagens have fully transitioned from 'cheap old cars' to legitimate blue-chip collectibles. The 1973 Super Beetle Convertible offers a unique blend of vintage charm and improved drivability compared to earlier torsion-bar models, making it highly sought after by enthusiasts.
- Southern California Demand: Huntington Beach represents the spiritual heart of VW culture. In this region, a rust-free Beetle convertible acts almost like a liquid asset, holding its value exceptionally well and often selling within days when priced near the $10,000 mark.
- Investment Potential: While high-end restored Beetles are reaching record prices at auction, the 'driver-quality' market remains the most active segment. A functional convertible under $11,000 is increasingly rare, providing the buyer with both immediate enjoyment and strong protection against future depreciation.
