A car that’s universally loved, the Volkswagen Beetle is the vehicle of a mobility revolution – literally. Made from 1938 until 2003 in multiple countries, over 21 million examples left factories during that time. The Beetle has been updated and tweaked hundreds of times during that lifespan, but it always retained its friendly face, bug-eyed headlamps and air-cooled engine purring away in its tail. Now, a Beetle makes for a fine starter classic car because it’s so easy to drive as well as maintain. With that in mind, we’ve got a 1961 Volkswagen Beetle for sale from Huntington Beach, California. The vehicle has got 62,807 miles on it and features a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-four engine. With its rear-wheel drive layout and four-speed manual transmission, this is definitely a car that loves long drives!
Wearing a straight coat of black paint, this 1961 Volkswagen Beetle also features mud flaps with the VW emblem, chrome bumpers and whitewall tires. Over the years, Beetles have been given various looks including the Cal-look, hot rods, beach buggies, restomods and more, but this car takes things back to classic status as far as possible. It’s even got a period-correct luggage rack atop the engine compartment as well as a roof rack for further cargo capacity because there isn’t a lot of cargo space up front, let us be honest. The interior of this 1961 Volkswagen Beetle comes in an airy tan and brown two-tone theme. Like the exterior, it remains as classically correct as possible, right down to the original style of instrumentation and push-button radio. There’s some cargo space up front under the hood, but it’s shared with the whitewall-tired spare wheel and some ancillaries, so you’ll be grateful for the roof and rear cargo racks if you plan to take this Bug on road trips.
