You'd be surprised. Their value has increases quite a bit recently. They on average, are worth more than A's across the various condition ratings. I'm talking about 60's era bugs too, the value increases as you get into the older years.

Just like everything, nothing is cheap these days.

They really changed in 68. The 67 I'd consider the last of the original design. 68 got the ball joint front end and CV joint rear axles - don't get me started on the "Super" beetle with it's McPherson struts and curved windshield......
I've had about 8 of them over the years. Small window - glass Manxish buggy, Karmin Ghia, 914 (sold as VW in Europe). When I was in college the trans died in my daily driver 54 Corvette. Needing to get to school I swapped it for a 2 year old 66 Bug.
