My first "real" car was a '60 bug too, and I paid $600 for it!
If it was sold in the US it was probably the Deluxe model, not the base model.
The Standard (base) VW had painted bumpers, hubcaps, and door handles; cable brakes; the seat didn't have a slide to adjust it fore and aft. Only 2 fuses in the fuse box.
