MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE
1967 Volkswagen Samba Bus Collector Guide
This Samba sits low enough that its cheerful orange paint is only half the story. The roof opening, split windscreen and FLUFFY plate give it the relaxed custom-bus look. The pictured HRT62 is Boulevard number 114, based on Gabriel Iglesias’ bus.

What to look for
The model pairs an orange body with a tan interior, smoked glazing and five-spoke Real Riders. Look at the front windows: their partly open appearance is part of the miniature’s presentation. Do not assume they are little hinged panels that should be pulled outward.

A closer look at this release
The exact package photograph shows the orange HRT62 Samba Bus on its Boulevard 114 card. The source page’s “white” color field is contradicted by the pictured car and card art.
Choosing one for your collection
Check the thin window pillars and the roof opening before concentrating on the paint. Those areas are easy to miss when a seller photographs only the broad side of the bus.
For a loose example, ask for a front view that shows the stance and both front wheels. A low model can conceal a bent axle when it is photographed from above.
Collector questions
Does the windscreen open?
The split windscreen is represented in a partly open position. Treat it as fixed detail; it is not a feature to force open during inspection.
