It sold for over $400.00!!!! I kind of like it. It reminds me of my daughter's Volks Wagon 'Thing' (a car that was only made for 2 years back in the 70's)--it was bright orange just like the FW in the picture. Here is a link to a picture of an orange "Thing" :

What a great color!

Cabbagepatchkid, I couldn't see the orange FW, already removed, but I did see the orange convertible! Very cool!

There is a guy who goes to quilt shows in my area that re-paints the featherweights to sell. He does a lot of purple ones. One of my friends bought a purple one for $800! I would love to own a colored FW, but I can't pay $800 for one!
