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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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 the most recognizable automobiles ever produced, with a legacy spanning decades and millions of units sold worldwide. This 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Coupe showcases the timeless charm that made the Beetle a cultural icon, combining simple engineering, dependable mechanicals, and unmistakable styling. Showing approximately 7,204 miles, this example stands out with its vibrant Red exterior and tastefully reupholstered White and Red interior. The classic air-cooled driving experience remains intact, while the refreshed cabin adds a custom touch that enhances both comfort and presentation. Whether destined for local car shows, weekend cruises, or a vintage Volkswagen collection, this Beetle delivers an authentic piece of automotive history.
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.
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.

Showing 149,097 miles, this 1977 Volkswagen Transporter stands out with its attractive Marino Yellow and Pastel White two-tone exterior, restored interior, and tasteful upgrades. Featuring custom upholstery, woodgrain interior accents, an aftermarket safari-style roof rack, and a classic air-cooled powertrain, this Transporter captures the spirit of vintage Volkswagen motoring while offering the charm and usability that collectors continue to seek today.
