Many of us know about VW and its capabilities as a leading auto manufacturer, but only a few actually know what the word 'Volkswagen' means. Translated, Volkswagen means 'the people's car,' and that is exactly what was in mind when building the legendary Beetle. To show off his newly built road network, the infamous historical character Adolf Hitler asked for a practical car that was also economical to be made for his compatriots, and together with the great Ferdinand Porsche, created a car that would go on to be one of the most iconic vehicles in automotive history. This example is a piece of that history, and with some care, it is still running perfectly today, awaiting its new owner.
The design of the Beetle is a result of two entirely different desires working together as one. On the one hand, the Beetle had to make sense, in the sense that it had to be roomy enough to accommodate a medium-sized family, fast enough to appreciate the convenience of the new road system, and economical enough to be driven daily. On the other hand, Ferdinand Porsche also wanted it to be beautiful, and the result would be a car that is timeless. This example confirms that claim, sitting proudly in immaculate condition with what is reported to be a new paint job and door panels, new tires, brakes, and a spare, and also the addition of a roof rack. As you might have expected, a practical car had to also be practical on the inside. The Beetle interior was envisioned to be simple and minimalistic, with a focus on functionality and durability. It also had to provide a comfortable driving experience while still being easy to maintain, and so, the Beetle's humble cabin will provide you with some information via gauges fixed onto the flat dashboard, the leather seats, which are reportedly new on this example, aren't as complex but will still offer passengers a comfortable ride. The reportedly new headliner and carpet also add to the aesthetic, giving the cabin a simple yet elegant finish.
As for the engine, the Beetle had a number of configurations strapped to its (an unintentional pun on its rear engine setup), but this 1956 Volkswagen Beetle is reported to have a new 1,600cc engine mated to its standard manual transmission.
The Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most iconic cars in automotive history, is recognized for its distinctive shape and back story.

Therefore, buying a Beetle is not just about owning a classic car but also about owning a piece of world history with countless stories to be told.

The Volkswagen Kombi, Transporter, Camper, Microbus or T2 is a well-known light commercial vehicle. Introduced in 1949, it used the Beetle’s powertrain, but installed it within a larger and longer body that could be had in many styles. These included panel vans, pickup trucks, passenger microbuses, ice cream vans, and campers. In the Sixties, the model really took off, with the movement of peace and love. Many microbuses were converted into campers, and many more continue to receive this treatment even in the current era. However, if you want to buy a VW Kombi that’s already received the conversion, check out this 1995 Volkswagen EuroVan Camper that we’re selling with only 45,500 miles on the clock. Having undergone a full restoration, the vehicle comes with a comfortable and practical interior, two keys, and infinite amounts of charm and nostalgia.
The Volkswagen Beetle started life as a people’s car and has since become beloved by virtually all walks of life. Whether it’s an early "split window" in pristine condition or a radically modified rat rod, there are many dedicated devotees that come with an appreciation of the Bug’s way of life. One of the advantages of the VW Beetle platform is that it was available in a variety of body styles. In addition to the traditional sedan, there have been many different versions that share its underpinnings, including Variant models, wagons, and this: one of the last years that a convertible was offered from the factory. This 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible is offered for sale with a 1.6-liter engine and 97,000 miles reported on the odometer.
The 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is a timeless classic that will forever dazzle this world with its legendary design and rich history. The success of this first generation Mustang is also the reason why the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird and Dodge Challenger were brought to life; these were truly the golden days of the Ford Mustang, asserting itself as the main player in the new “pony” car market. With only a total of 72,119 convertible units produced in 1966, it makes this model quite rare compared to the coupe and fastback models. The iconic pony's interior makes this particular example even more rare, with embossed running horses on the seatbacks, a five-gauge instrument cluster, and deluxe door panels with wood-grain accents. Clocking a total of just 33,000 miles on the odometer, this 1966 Ford Mustang is the perfect machine to cruise around with the convertible top down.
Ford’s epic Mustang was one of the headline cars of the Sixties. Debuting in 1964, it created the pony car segment and can be considered responsible for many automotive icons that followed in its wake. That’s why owning a first generation Mustang is a bucket list item for countless American enthusiasts. If you’re one of those, we’ve got a 1972 Ford Mustang up for sale right now. Packing a relatively light 61,000 miles on the odometer, this car is said to have been fully restored. Hence, it’s basically a turn-key classic that you can enjoy from the very start of your ownership journey.
The first Generation Chevrolet Camaro was nothing short of iconic. Fast-forward to today, and you have multiple iterations of an iconic muscle car.

This factory-clean example has been lovingly used and preserved. The current owner reports that the car comes with receipts from 1984 detailing its journey.
