Overview of 1968 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible For Sale by Owner

The original Volkswagen Beetle is one of those legendary cars in global automotive history. Produced from 1938 to 2003 (with a break during the Second World War, of course), over 21 million were made, in no less than eighteen countries, including Germany. Built to be a People's Car that was as simple as possible to own, drive and maintain, Beetles enjoy a cult following worldwide. You'll find those who adhere to the purist look and the restomod community. This particular 1968 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod carries some influence from the 'Cal-Style' fraternity, which would see an otherwise stock Beetle lowered for a better stance and given added chrome. This car bears just 69,000 miles since new, we are told.

Exterior and Interior

From the outset, the California-originated 'Cal Style' influence is apparent on this 1968 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod, from its suave black paintwork to the shaved roof profile and aftermarket wheels. You'll also notice the ample chromework adorning this car and the larger twin exhaust tips in, you guessed it, chrome. The bodywork looks in good nick, as do the lights and fittings. The black convertible top adds to the allure, as you can drop the top and enjoy the purr of that air-cooled flat-four, feel the wind in your hair, and experience what a Beetle really is like. The red interior is mostly unchanged from the original and offers seating for four adults. Front seat occupants are granted lap belts, and the original speedometer remains, flanked by an aftermarket rev counter and oil pressure gauge. The classic steering wheel, pedals, gearstick, door cards, and window winders remain. A peek behind the rear seats reveals an aftermarket speaker box that hosts four speakers and a handle for easy transport.

Engine

The original Beetle always sported a flat four in the tail that was meant to be as simple as possible. Air cooling was the way to go, and the distinctive purr of a Beetle's powerplant means you know one is coming well before you see it. This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod appears to have an upgrade in the engine department, as we're told that it packs a 1,900cc flat-four with dual carbs. Drive is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox.

VERIFIED SELLER
$55,000

There are custom builds, and then there are machines like this. This 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod shows just 710 miles and represents a complete reimagination of one of the most recognizable economy cars ever built. Far removed from its humble air-cooled origins, this Beetle has been transformed into a full custom hot rod powered by a Chevrolet LT1 V8, riding on a tubular chassis, and engineered with hardware more commonly found in purpose-built performance cars. From its chopped roofline and wide rear stance to its remote-controlled suicide doors and bespoke interior, this is a build created to command attention wherever it goes. The title carries a rebuilt designation noted in title history, which should be fully disclosed, but this vehicle’s appeal lies in its craftsmanship, engineering ambition, and sheer uniqueness rather than originality.

1957 Volkswagen Beetle

VERIFIED SELLER
$49,999

Few automobiles have achieved the universal recognition of the Volkswagen Beetle, and even fewer have maintained the enduring charm of the early oval-window cars. This 1957 Volkswagen Beetle represents one of the most beloved eras of the Type 1, combining the purity of the classic air-cooled formula with the unmistakable character that helped mobilize postwar Europe and eventually win over the world. Showing 4,042 miles on the odometer, this figure should be considered mileage shown unless otherwise documented, as is typical with collector vehicles of this vintage. Finished in black over a striking red leather interior with white piping, this Beetle presents a far more bespoke appearance than a standard factory example, further enhanced by its bifold ragtop and included matching trailer. For collectors seeking vintage Volkswagen charm with added personality, this package offers an especially eye-catching proposition.
