Comprehensive database of rare VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia and Bus parts from the 50s and 60s
This page is no longer actively updated due to the continuous rise in vintage VW part prices year after year.
However, it remains a valuable resource for enthusiasts and collectors interested in the historical pricing of rare EMPI parts.
Over the years, I’ve searched extensively on eBay and later on TheSamba.com to track down some of the rarest NOS (New Old Stock) EMPI accessories for classic Volkswagen Beetles, Buses, and Karmann Ghias. I used to find and purchase NOS EMPI parts almost weekly — now, I’m lucky to discover one or two each year that I don’t already own.
This extensive database offers insights into how much vintage VW parts were selling for on eBay dating back to early 2002, helping you understand market trends and the increasing value of these collectible items.
Each item has the following description:

Since 1880 the Judson Family have been involved in some form of mechanical and electrical engineering. W. Haddon Judson was the prime mover in the development of the company and in the technical innovation of the supercharger aided by his brother Charles. New models were added steadily over the years until the full range included superchargers for MG TD, TF and MGA, Renault Dauphine, Triumph TR3 and 4, Mercedes 190SL, Volvo, Austin-Healey Sprite, the Corvair and of course two versions for Volkswagens.

In the early 1950s Joe Vittone began a small import car (and motorcycle) dealership called Economotors in Riverside, Calif., one of America's earliest VW dealerships. Vittone focused on the economic transportation of the relatively new Volkswagen, a refreshing change from the big-finned Detroit cars being produced domestically at the time. Tired of inefficient cars that were more geared toward power and luxury and lacked engineering grace, Vittone and his dealership offered his customers a place in the infant VW aftermarket industry where they could find high-performance engine parts like stroker cranks, big bore pistons, dual port heads, legendary 48 IDA Webers and Speedwell's magnesium BRM wheels. Economotors (and later EMPI) pioneered the phenomenal developments of the Volkswagen's popularity among economic drivers and backyard mechanics.

After currency reform in 1948, the automobile industry took on a leading role in the German economy. The continually rising sales figures for motor vehicles and the increasing number of people with cars also ensured that this sharp upturn was also felt at WMI. Once more it was Ford and Volkswagen, in particular, who used the products from Lippstadt as standard equipment for their vehicles. Hella headlamps and lights adorned the VW Beetle, the car that symbolised the success of the German economic miracle.
