Lately we've been going down the rabbit hole of the late model Beetles. Late model Beetles were the most technologically advanced type 1 Volkswagens of the air-cooled brand. As they got later into production sales numbers dropped considerably for multiple reasons we talk about that on this podcast. We also discussed Mike Goode and his collection of Volkswagens that he's had over the years and his passion for the hobby. He has an affinity for late model Volkswagens growing up in Chicago not a lot of the early ones were around. Building a collection over the years. Only to find himself in a bidding war that ends on bring a trailer for the most expensive 1977 beetle sold to date. He like us has a passion for this hobby and he's got a varied collection from a 67 beetle 73 super beetle that was recently featured in hot VW's magazine and he loves those turtle backs. And the crown jewel of his collection is the 130 mile original 1977 beetle great listen.
