2017 #PinkBeetle Owners - Production Numbers & Availability

VW never officially said how many #PinkBeetles were made — here's what the press materials actually say 2017 Pink Volkswagen Beetle Been researching the 2017 #PinkBeetle for an article and fell down a rabbit hole on the production numbers. Everyone cites "3,000 units" but that figure doesn't appear anywhere in Volkswagen's official press releases. The actual language VW used was "limited quantities across the United States." The 3,000 number is community-sourced — probably accurate, but not confirmed by VW. A few other things from the official press materials that surprised me: The hashtag in the name is intentional — VW officially designated it the #PinkBeetle, making it the first car in history to be named as its own hashtag Fresh Fuchsia Metallic was the first factory pink in the entire Beetle nameplate's history. Every pink Beetle before 2017 — including the 29 dealer-commissioned ones a California dealer did in 2005 — was a respray VW auctioned the very first US example for breast cancer research. Winning bid was $30,272 Coupe got 17-inch "Linas" wheels, convertible got 18-inch "Twister" wheels — different specs that most listings don't mention Put together a full breakdown if anyone's shopping for one or just curious: https://www.buildpriceoption.com/pink-volkswagen-beetle/ Anyone here own a #PinkBeetle? Curious what the real-world supply looks like — are clean convertibles as hard to find as the data suggests?
