Finally, Seinfeld’s 1960 Volkswagen Beetle rounds out his non-Porsche offerings. (And yes, we realize all of these were made under the VW banner anyway. Just go with us on this.) The $55,000 car has a pebble-gray color—it comes off as a brilliant, stark white—as remarkable as its low mileage. Schoolteacher Ruth Lahey drove it less than 15,000 miles while she owned it for 30 years in South Dakota.
“I love the colors of this car, and the mileage is ridiculous,” Seinfeld said. “This is the last year of the classic 36-horsepower engine.”
The two-tone seats, carpeting, floor mats, rubber molding, and chrome are in mint condition, and the whole thing is completely unrestored. Seinfeld himself said selling it was probably “a mistake.”
