The ratty, rusted 1968 Volkswagen Beetle in faded beige that was owned by the serial killer Ted Bundy has become a museum display in Washington.
There is a grisly, violent history behind the VW that sits in the National Museum of Crime and Punishment, where the car landed earlier this month.
Acquired by lease from a private collector in New York, the unrestored VW, with its cracked windshield and faded Utah state inspection sticker, was where he allegedly beat and strangled some of them. Bundy was executed in Florida in 1989. He had confessed to 30 murders from 1973 to 1978.
See Museum Article with excerpts on how the VW was used.

Bundy had removed the bolts of the passenger car seat and he would often store it in the trunk. This made his victims unseen when traveling in his car. He would than replace the seat.
