Although originally conceived as a no-frills car to provide transport to the masses, the charm of the humble Volkswagen Beetle has led to one of the most diverse and inclusive fan bases in the world. With over 21 million Volkswagen Beetles produced, the Beetle seemingly appeals to all ages and tastes and provides a platform for both collectors and customizers to indulge in. When it comes to Beetles, we’ve listed everything at Exotic Car Trader: from concourse-level restorations, low mileage survivors, and some of the wildest creations. And we think you’ll agree; our featured 1959 Volkswagen Beetle most certainly falls into the latter category. This impressive Beetle build was completed in 2007 and embraces the custom hot-rod trend, with extensive modifications made to the body. However, it still manages to preserve the Beetle connection, leaving onlookers with little doubt over what lies in front of them. If you’re in the market for a truly unique creation, then this customized 1959 Volkswagen Beetle may just be the car for you.
Just about every part of this 1959 Volkswagen Beetle appears to have been customized in some way or another. The body features a chopped roof for open-air motoring, with a custom-chopped windshield and windshield frame that further lowers the exterior height. You’ll also find that the doors have been sealed, providing extra rigidity to the body. The owner reports that the car was painted in 2007, and the hood features a custom flame graphic. You'll also notice that the VW badge on the front has been swapped out for a skull and crossbones. The front and rear fenders have been removed to reveal the suspension setup in all its glory. Meanwhile, this Bug’s headlights have also been relocated to accommodate the lack of fenders. A red rear luggage rack is installed on the engine cover, while the Beetle rests on red-painted wire-spoke wheels with chrome center caps. The wheels are wrapped in Firestone rubber, which offers a period-looking tread pattern. Moving inside, you won’t find an air conditioning unit, but you will find a red interior with a custom dashboard. The seats feature lap belts and there's a radio with Bluetooth and USB compatibility.
Mounted at the rear is a flat-four air-cooled engine — but, not just any engine. The owner reports that this 1600c unit was sourced from another VW, likely a later-model Beetle. The engine is mounted to a four-speed manual Freeway Flier racing transmission powering the rear wheels. This custom Beetle features drum brakes but includes the modern addition of power steering for effortless maneuverability at all speeds.

The Volkswagen Beetle is one of those machines whose production numbers are not in the thousands but in the 6-digit range. While it has a long production run across multiple formats, finding a clean example has become more challenging. With clean examples tucked away in collections and most falling prey to age and the aftermarket scene, finding a clean, factory example is a dream for many who want to explore the world of classic Volkswagen charm. Present today is now considered a rare bird and looks like this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle. This clean example is reported to have just 135,000 miles on it over its 50+ year life. Better yet, this machine is also reported to have been garaged or under a carport its entire life to maintain its clean looks. The fun doesn't stop there for those seeking originality; the machines' maintenance is also reported to preserve their original specifications. Included in the sale are a tow bar and lights connector in excellent condition, along with the original owner's manual.

That super-low mileage plus the overall pristine outlook of the vehicle leads us to believe that it may have received a restoration. Because why not? After all, such vehicles are historically significant symbols of freedom and peace. They’ve been used to spread love and hope all over the world. And even if you aren’t into that movement, what better and simpler way to digitally detox your family than to pack them into this thing and take a drive on a weekend? Because it’s as analog as things get.

Purists best remember the Volkswagen Transporter as the Type 2 microbus or kombi. But Volkswagen has made several generations since then. The T4 or fourth generation was produced between 1995 and 2004, and of course, camper variants were popular too. That’s what we have here for grabs in Laguna Beach, California, a 2003 Volkswagen Transporter T4 EuroVan with 188,000 miles on the clock. This fine camper van comes with a pop-up top, the owner’s manual and a smooth six-cylinder engine driving its rear wheels. So if you’re a fan of road trips where you take your house with you, this van is the ideal companion.
Here’s a chance that’s not very likely to come every day. This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R could be yours if you’d like to own one of the Eighties and Nineties JDM cult heroes that most petrolheads lust after in their dreams. This heavily-modified car packs an RB26 single-turbo built motor, a sleek black outlook and 62,148 miles on the clock. Coming from the fine R32 generation, it’s also got a very distinctive shape to its two-door coupe body. Don’t worry about this car being right-hand drive; you’ll quicky get used to it.
Now here’s one for those who seek a classic Mustang in cruiser style. This beautifully restored 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop comes to you from Hot Springs Village, in all its Wimbledon White glory. The vehicle has got over 120,000 miles on its 200ci straight six, and features a 3-speed automatic transmission as well. This makes it great for those who can’t drive stick, or haven’t done so in a long time. We’re told that the car drives exceptional, with no rust, plus everything on the vehicle is fully functional. With over 550,000 Mustangs sold in 1965, finding one isn’t hard, but finding one in great shape like this is rather less conducive. So if you want to get this car for yourself, don’t waste any time in contacting our team.
One of Chevy’s most popular compacts of the Sixties and Seventies, cars like this 1972 Chevrolet Nova Restomod ruled the roost of sporty small cars. They were available in frugal six-cylinder form, or with small-block V8s under the hood. Today’s car, however, is a build like no other. It rocks a mammoth 454ci V8 under the hood, driving the rear wheels through a TH-350 automatic gearbox. A 2.5-inch aftermarket exhaust ensures that everyone hears the rumble of the big V8 as you streak by in a flash of burnt orange, riding upon REV 109 classic Magnum 15-inch wheels. You’ll even get dual four-point harnesses which are currently not installed, in case you want to take this Nova to a track or strip.
