1972 Volkswagen Beetle

Description

We bet you've never seen a VW like this before. This 1972 Volkswagen Beetle takes the quality and more luxurious image of the cabriolet, and takes it a step further by giving it the classic American wood panel treatment.

Volkswagen knew how to produce these bodies with a Teutonic tightness that was still simple to maintain. It is a level of fit and finish that makes the Beetle an enduring icon. America adopted the original VW as part of the counter-culture, but this one goes a bit more for the heart of America in its appearance. When the light blue was given a professional respray, some custom wood paneling was added. Now this one looks like the little brother to the huge Chrysler Town and Country convertibles that were handcrafted in the 1950s. So just imagine the looks you'll receive everywhere from the VW shows to every stoplight.

The fun feeling of the exterior continues inside. New white vinyl covers on the seats, door panels, and convertible top give this a feeling like you want to cruise to the beach every day. Plus, the new black carpets mean you won't think twice about hopping right in after a day of activities. The high-back bucket seats that came on the later models are particularly comfortable for all-day cruising. But as much as this looks like it is built for fun, there is an underlying feeling of serious sturdiness that comes from decades of VW building these cars correctly.

The familiar 1600 cc air-cooled flat four engine is a big part of the Beetle's appeal with its bulletproof reliability, and familiar whistling exhaust note. These take pocket change to maintain and upgrade thanks to a vast catalog of cheap-n-easy parts available. As many VW fans already know, this is a Super Beetle. That means an improved steering box, bigger brakes, and a new MacPherson strut front end suspension. Also mounted on the factory wheels with iconic hubcaps are modern Nexen tires. So for those who want to drive their classics, this is one of the nicest ways to experience a vintage VW.

Beetle ownership is a great experience that ranges from the social camaraderie of the many available clubs, to the simple parts that make maintenance/upgrades part of a fun weekend project. Of course, it doesn't hurt that you can get into this title-documented and unique turnkey ragtop VW for well under $20K. Call Today!!!
