Lot 2942: 1963 Volkswagen Microbus

A 1963 Volkswagen Bus can range widely in value depending on the specific model and condition. Based on our Classic.com market data:

T1 Microbus (11-window / 15-window):

• Average sale price: ~$49,000
• Range: $8,200–$185,000
• Most recent sale: $28,000

T1 Samba (21-window / 23-window) — The Premium Models:

• Average sale price: ~$101,000
• Range: $18,000–$231,000
• Most recent sale: $40,000

The 23-window Samba is especially valuable since 1963 was the final year for this configuration. For context, the 23-window bus we’re discussing here at $43,500 sits in a reasonable spot for a project-grade example — similar 23-window projects have sold from $26k–$34k, while original/restored examples are asking $56k+. The major rust repair (99% complete) adds value, but the non-running swapped engine is a consideration.
