The VW Bus From ‘That ’70s Show’ Is Coming Up For Auction

Remember That ’70s Show? The coming-of-age period sitcom ran for eight years on Fox. And between the likes of Topher Grace, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Laura Prepon, and Wilmer Valderrama, it had no lack of big stars. But the one that’s caught our attention, it may come as no surprise, isn’t a person. It’s a car – or rather a van.

A 1967 Volkswagen Samba microbus, specifically, in highly sought-after 21-window form. The vehicle appeared extensively in the show, and even drove off a cliff in the sixth season. Fortunately it wasn’t actually harmed in the filming of the show. In fact it’s coming up for auction. And not for the first time, either.

Barrett-Jackson has the very van that appeared in the show consigned for its upcoming sale in Palm Beach, Florida, next month. It’s listed with no reserve, which means it could, theoretically, sell for a song. (“In the Street,” performed by Cheap Trick, to be specific.) But as The Drive points out, it’ll probably sell for a lot. An awful lot, actually.

Though the same auction house sold this same van back for $28,050 in 2005, when the show was still running, classic VW buses like this one have been selling for big bucks lately. Six figures, in some cases. And given its star power, this one could set a new record.

It even comes with a denim handbag signed by members of the cast. That in itself might be enough for some fans. But if it’s the bus you’re after, you’d better get your finances in order and head to West Palm Beach next month.
