I paid $600 for it and sold it two years later for $650. 36 MPG in the era of 25 cents per gallon of gas. All I ever did to it was oil changes and valve adjustments. Oh, I bought a set of four tires for $29 mounted and balanced. They were re-caps and dang small, I don't remember what size. I only got that bug to 70 MPH once and that was downhill and it sounded like it was about to come apart and it was floating all over the road.
On the way to work I had to merge onto the local highway. Many times I was side by side with a 18 wheeler at the red light. The truckers of the day were shifting like crazy, but I could NOT out run one and change lanes to get in front of a 18 wheeler even when they had a heavy load.
