The old style "Bug" is still produced in Mexico. It sells for about $7500
but is not legal for import. Won't pass smog and safety regs in the US.
There is a guy in Arizona that buys them, takes them apart, imports "auto
parts and rebuilds older US Bugs. He buys old beaters to get the number
plates and titles. Then, he "rebuilds" them. There used to be a dealer for
him up the street from me. Those 1969 cars were brand new! Sold for 13K
too...
