121 K for a 1960 VW bug in silly stupid. I owned and drove one when it was just an 11 year old used car. I paid $600 for it and sold it for $650. 0 to 60 was over a minute. 70 was absolute flat out and only on a flat road with no head wind. I got 36 MPG and the throttle was either at idle or floored. I had the deluxe version since the seats were on rails and were easily adjustable. The standard version had a wingnut under the seat. One had to get out, loosen the the wingnut and re-position the seat then tighten the nut for a standard model.
Mine did not have a gas gauge. Those were an option. I did cut notches on a dowel rod and carried that in the trunk. Nothing like a fuel soaked piece of wood for a nice ambiance. That $600 is the equivalent to a $3,500 car today. A $3,500 car toady would be a much better car in every way.
Good morning all.
