$99,000 VW????

Question

I just recieved Dec issue of Hemmings Sports and Exotic car magazine. On page 110 they show the results of the pebble beach auction and what the vehicles sold for. A 1966 westfalia unrestored in #3 condition (average) sold for $99,000. They expected $8,000. It looks good but seems weird to me. They said the price is steep, but the winner did battle with a phone bidder willing to pay almost as much. Can you guys believe it?
