The Volkswagen Beetle is a car which has sold in numbers greater than the population of some countries. All in all, over 21.5 million found homes, in a production run spanning from 1938 to 2003. That’s longer than some people’s lives. So, you get the point. The Beetle is an icon of motoring freedom, perseverance and personality. It’s squirmed its way into the hearts of most petrolheads, and provided countless families across the world with reliable and dependable transportation. Up for sale today is a lovely 1968 Volkswagen Beetle that’s received a thorough makeover. With a mere 12,600 miles on the clock, it’s a great catch for one lucky person. Is that you?
This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle has got a new coat of Burnt Orange. Actually, it features a fully restored original German pan, which, along with the body, has been plastered and primered in Nason and PPG epoxy primer. The running boards were recently replaced with Wolfsburg West boards and covered in OE-style rubber matting. Then, there’s front LED headlamps plus rear LED stoplamps. Meanwhile, the whole thing rolls on a set of Cosmic Wheels custom CNC cut-outs, with a matching spare tire and wheel too. The interior of this 1968 Volkswagen Beetle is a full tweed affair courtesy of Sewfine Interiors, with Sewfine Colorado bucket seats, VDO instruments, a Band O2 meter, a Retrosound Bluetooth radio, and a 10-inch Kicker subwoofer to augment the Alpine amplifier and speakers that await your musical miscellany. Furthermore, the cabin benefits from West Coast Metric and Wolfsburg West rubber seals, front and rear Coco mats, and rebuilt doors with matching seals.
This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle packs a 2,180cc flat-four engine that’s been professionally built by Brothers VW Machine in Ontario, Cal. Then, we’ve got 92mm thick wall AA sleeves with pistons, custom R.A.C.E machined valve covers and deep sump, Chromoly head studs and pushrods, Mahle main and rod bearings, and an A1 Performance sidewinder exhaust system. A manual transmission with Kennedy Stage 1 clutch and pressure plate is present, as is a Rancho pro-street transaxle with 3.73 super differential. Braking gets a shot in the arm too, thanks to Ghia front disc brakes, Porsche 5x130mm front rotors and rear drums. There’s much more to see on this beautiful Bug, so why not give us a call to learn all about it?

It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like the Volkswagen Beetle – even if they may not outwardly say, or show it. 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.

The Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most iconic cars in automotive history, is recognized for its distinctive shape and back story. It was created by the same engineer who founded Porsche, Ferdinand Porsche. The Volkswagen Beetle in itself is a historical figure, as it symbolized a shift from cars being a privilege for the wealthy to a dream that everyone could fulfill. 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. This particular 1979 air-cooled boxer four-cylinder German we have today has been meticulously restored back to life with a small twist: a turbocharger. With just 55,500 miles reported, this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle is ready to take you on some exciting expeditions.
The iconic Volkswagen Type 2 was the much-loved microbus of the Sixties and beyond. Sporting a happy persona, it was the perfect embodiment of a carefree lifestyle, filled with love and care. One of the most popular modifications for the Type 2 was the Westfalia Camper, which turned this versatile vehicle into a fully-fledged camper van. So, with one of these, you didn’t need to organize a hotel at the end of every day of your road trip, or fumble about with tent poles. Your Vanagon had it all aboard. Furthermore, it was a great alternative to a hulking and cumbersome motorhome. Just check out this 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Camper, and it will show you how less can actually be more.
The Volkswagen Type 2 microbus, camper, Westfalia, kombi, or simply bus, is an iconic passenger carrier. Made from 1979 right up until 2002, its friendly face and distinctive air-cooled engine note make it instantly recognizable. Widely considered as a Beetle for those with more people to carry, the Type 2 also makes for an excellent camper conversion. This 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper is one such example. Built from a Volkswagen Westfalia GL variant, it’s living proof that you don’t need a massive, multi-axle behemoth to go camping across America’s beautiful landscape. Instead, you can take this compact vehicle and enjoy ample creature comforts. With a healthy 114,000 miles on the clock, it’s got plenty more to give.

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. Here was a car that traded the C2’s dainty looks for something truly muscular and futuristic. No surprise, then, that a C3 Corvette is on many a petrolhead’s list of ultimate must-haves. Therefore, we can fulfill one person’s dream, by offering this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for sale. With a reported 18,559 original miles, this car is truly a rare fish to catch.
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.
