Ever since the first Bug rolled out in 1971 the people have found creative ways to turn this innocent-looking economy car into various things that portrayed their own character, and personal desires. While many Beetle purists will tell you that this car is its best when stock, a handful of performance enthusiasts have chosen a different route. That’s a route you and I know as hot rodding. Any doubt about what that is should be cleared out at the site of this example. Volksrods have been a thing for as long as the Beetle has, and any Volkswagen hotrod fan would be delighted to know that this 1970 Volkswagen Volksrod Custom, which is currently up for sale, is the epitome of what it should be. Read on to see why it deserves a place in your garage, as well as your heart.
As it’s evidently clear, this Beetle has been converted entirely to be one with hot rod culture. A few of the highlights include the no top convertible look, new axles that push the wheels completely out of the body, skinny tires with mags and fenders upfront, with meaty tires at the back complemented by disk brakes on all fours, and a 4inch drop upfront, the ideal setup for the drag strip. The car also has four-wheel disc brakes, relocated headlights, and satin black exterior paint with green flames running along the body. The interior of the 1970 Volkswagen Volksrod Custom is reported to be upholstered, and the predominantly black cabin has new carpets as well as new green seat covers that mimic the black and green exterior, other than that, the interior seems mostly untouched from a standard Beetle, which is no bad thing really. It even sports the period-correct AM/FM radio integrated into the dash, although we’re unsure as to its functional status.
As for the power, this 1970 Volkswagen Volksrod Custom relies on its original 1.6L engine and original standard manual transmission, although it is reported that the car has new fluids in the transmission, to help its running condition.

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.
Considered by many to be the best classic car for anyone looking to get into classic cars, the Volkswagen Beetle is a symbol of mobility across the world. Between 1938 and 2003, this happy-faced, bug-eyed machine with its friendly purring air-cooled engine helped countless families get about their daily errands with ease. Over 21 million Beetles were made in total, and when the original finally bowed out of production, many tears were shed. Today, why not celebrate that glorious legacy with this 1968 Volkswagen Beetle from Trinity, Florida? The vehicle has 30,606 miles recorded on the odometer, and looks just as good as it left the showroom floor in 1968.
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!
This 1975 Volkswagen Type II Transporter represents a Brazilian-built example that has been comprehensively restored and converted into a Samba-style deluxe configuration. Retaining the iconic split-window-inspired aesthetic through a 23-window layout and sliding ragtop, this bus blends classic Volkswagen charm with tasteful modern upgrades. As a Volkswagen do Brasil production model, it benefits from extended Type II manufacturing beyond the German era, making it a unique and desirable interpretation of the classic Microbus platform rather than a factory Samba.
Hang on…wasn’t the Volkswagen Type 2 or Kombi a Sixties and Seventies symbol? Of course it was, and in Germany at least, it was made from 1967 to 1979. But in Brazil, production kept going until as late as 2013! That’s what this 2013 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Bus Last Edition is, a celebration or a last hurrah to a vehicle that shaped countless lives across the world. This bus has traveled a light 20,117 miles and currently resides in Orlando, Florida. Oh, and if you can’t tell by the photos, it’s got a Martini Racing-style livery, too! We’re told that it totes a reupholstered leather and alcantara interior, an aftermarket sound system, and more.
One of the most iconic and influential vehicles of all time, the Volkswagen Type 2 microbus is an icon of love and freedom. Popularly used as camper conversions, the Type 2 was made from 1967, all the way up to 2013 in Brazil! Yes, you could get a Type 2 well into the 2010s, despite German production ceasing in 1979 to make way for the new Transporter range. Today’s 2011 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi Camper Bus is likely one of those Brazil-made machines, with its custom plaid camper interior, full wood camper cabinet system and built-in compact refrigerator. It’s traveled just over 110,000 miles and is up for grabs in Orlando. So if you’re the type who likes to go touring, but stay in your vehicle, this is the perfect candidate.

Built around a custom tube chassis and powered by a 6.2L naturally aspirated LT1 V8, this example moves well beyond a cosmetic restoration, offering contemporary reliability while preserving the character and proportions that define late-1950s Corvette design. The integration of modern suspension, braking, and interior systems positions this car as a true driver-focused classic rather than a period-correct showpiece.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ.

You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
