If there’s one car that needs no introduction whatsoever wherever it is in the world, it is the Volkswagen Beetle. From 1938 to 2003 a staggering 21.5 million cars were built. The Beetle, commonly referred to as the Lovebug, was the creation of a car that would appeal to everyone. Called the “people’s car”, the idea was for it to be an affordable car that any person can buy without breaking the bank, a mission in which it succeeded. Our subject Beetle is a special version of the 21.5 million manufactured and sold. A Volkswagen Super Beetle Epilogue Edition, it’s one of only 900 built and with just 81,000 miles on the clock. The Epilogue Edition was built to commemorate the last year Volkswagen Beetles were sold in the USA and Canada, and also the last year for convertible production worldwide. This car maintains its classic value as it is reported to be a numbers matching specimen.
Exterior and Interior
Compared to the “Triple White” that the Champagne Edition had, the Epilogue Edition is dressed in “Triple Black”. Our subject car has since been repainted in 2008 and has been with the same family for 40 years since the owner’s father purchased it in 1981 as a brand new convertible top beetle. This classic VW has been with the current owner since 1998. The seats have been reupholstered in black. The interior features an original padded steering wheel, and rosewood grain instrument panel trim with a quartz analog clock.
Engine
The Beetles at that time were given the 1.2L engine but the Epilogue was equipped with a more powerful 1.6L petrol engine mated to a standard four-speed manual transmission. The engine remains an air-cooled four-cylinder and is reported to be numbers matching.
The friendly-faced car that revolutionized transport, not only in Germany, but across the world. Yes, we’re talking about the original Volkswagen Beetle. Made between 1938 and 2003, over 21 million examples were sold during that time. That’s actually more than the population of many countries! Formally, the Beetle was only offered as a two-door saloon or a two-door convertible – beach buggies, stretches and other body styles were aftermarket creations. Today, we have a sub 30,000-mile 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle for sale from Lake City, Texas. This gorgeous drop-top Bug comes with a car cover, the owner’s manual and is reportedly a Karmann Ghia-tagged car.
Those who’ve owned a Beetle swear by them. And those who haven’t yearn to jump on the bandwagon. After all, a classic Volkswagen Beetle like this 1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible from Elizabethtown, Kentucky, is the ideal starter classic. It’s simple to work on, easy to fix, and most of all, good looking. It’s no surprise that Volkswagen sold over 21 million, in a production run that spanned the period of 1938 to 2003. This particular Beetle has got 96,000 miles on the clock, and rides on updated suspension plus four-wheel disc brakes. It’s also got a custom Bluetooth audio system. But most of all, it’s got what defines a Beetle, that air-cooled flat-four in the tail.
This 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible captures the carefree spirit of the late ’70s in one of the most beloved automotive icons ever produced.

Finished in a freshly repainted baby blue, this Super Beetle exudes timeless charm and simplicity while offering a driving experience rooted in classic motoring fun. Its cheerful color and open-top design make it a standout choice for collectors and enthusiasts who value authenticity, character, and nostalgic appeal.
This 1974 Volkswagen Beetle takes the familiar simplicity of the classic Type 1 and adds a thoroughly personalized performance and refresh story. Showing approximately 28,474 miles, this example is powered by a 2,200cc naturally aspirated bored-out air-cooled flat-4 fitted with dual Spanish Weber carburetors and backed by a Rancho Performance-built 4-speed manual transmission. Its documented refresh work from 2006 through 2009 included media blasting, suspension-related work, interior refurbishment, and sound-deadening material, giving this Beetle a much more developed presentation than a basic cosmetic makeover.
The 1977 Volkswagen Type 2 Riviera Camper captures the appeal of vintage Volkswagen travel culture with a practical camper conversion built around the iconic Bay Window platform.

Its camper configuration includes a rear sleeping area, patterned cloth rear bench upholstery, wood interior paneling, insulated rear quarters, and an auxiliary electrical setup, giving it the character of a true period-style adventure vehicle rather than a standard passenger van.
