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.

Volkswagen’s lovable little bug-shaped car has been produced in more or less the same form from 1938 to 2003. Envisioned to revolutionize mobility for the German public, the Beetle did that for countless other countries too. Its friendly purr is its aural handshake; the result of its simple and reliable air-cooled flat-four engine. Over 21 million Beetles were made, yet it’s harder than you’d expect to find one up for sale. That’s because most Beetle owners tend to hang on to the car, for obvious reasons. So if you’ve been after your very own Bug, here’s a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle with just 89,726 miles on it. Moreover, the car underwent restoration in 2020, which explains why it looks so fresh.

Modeled straight after a concept car, Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark III to be precise, the C3 or third-gen Corvette stunned America when it hit the stands in 1968.

With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
