The friendly-faced car that revolutionized transport, not only in Germany, but across the world. Yes, we’re talking about the original Volkswagen Beetle. Made between 1938 and 2003, over 21 million examples were sold during that time. That’s actually more than the population of many countries! Formally, the Beetle was only offered as a two-door saloon or a two-door convertible – beach buggies, stretches and other body styles were aftermarket creations. Today, we have a sub 30,000-mile 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle for sale from Lake City, Texas. This gorgeous drop-top Bug comes with a car cover, the owner’s manual and is reportedly a Karmann Ghia-tagged car.

1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod LT1

Current Ask
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.

$54,999

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.
