Yes, it appears that the listing was taken down. It was for a 1944 KDW (Volkswagen) beetle that was owned and driven by Hermann Goering. In remarkable original shape, given the fact that it's 73 years old. Apparently, when Hitler commissioned the car (which he referred to as "The People's Car"), he gave one to each of his gang, with the intent of showing the German people what a wonderful car they were. This is the only one known to have survived. Jesse James had it for sale, for half a million dollars.
