Description: THIS IS THE ACTUAL HERBIE VW USED IN THE MOVIE “HERBIE, FULLY LOADED” STARING LINDSEY LOHAN. THIS IS DISNEY INVENTORY CAR #9. AFTER THE MOVIE WAS FILMED, THE CAR WAS CONTRACTED TO AIRHEAD VW TO TOUR THE COUNTRY PROMOTING THE NEW MOVIE. IN PREPARATION FOR THE PROMOTION, AIRHEAD VW BEAUTIFIED THE STUNT CAR BY REMOVING ALL OF THE “HOLLYWOOD MAKE UP”, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY APPLIED BY DISNEY TO MAKE THE CAR LOOK DIRTY AND RUSTY FOR THE MOVIE. THEY ADDED CHROME HUB CAPS AND A NEW INTERIOR TO GIVE THE CAR A FRESH LOOK. THE MECHANICS WERE PREVIOUSLY REBUILT FOR THE MOVIE USE INCLUDING A POTENT 2180CC ENGINE. FROM THERE THE “HERBIE AND FRIENDS CRUISE ACROSS AMERICA” TOUR STARTED IN CALIFORNIA AND ENDED IN VIRGINIA, NOT ONLY PROMOTING THE MOVIE BUT ALSO CELEBRATING DISNEY WORLD’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY. DISNEY THEN DONATED THE CAR TO A CHILDREN’S CHARITY, IN WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED BY A NEVADA MUSEUM AND HAS BEEN ON DISPLAY SINCE. HERBIE IS THE MOST FAMOUS VW OF ALL TIME AND IS QUITE ARGUABLY THE MOST WELL KNOWN MOVIE CAR OF ALL TIME. ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT OF REAL HERBIES WERE OR EVER WILL BE BUILT AND ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THE PRESTIGE OF OWNING ONE. EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE, SHOW PIECE AND ADVERTISEMENT TOOL! TAX DEDUCTIBLE FOR YOUR BUSINESS.
