Overview of 1972 Volkswagen Beetle For Sale by Owner

One of the most widely sold cars in the world, over 21 million Volkswagen Beetles rolled of production facilities in Germany and other countries over the car’s exceptionally long lifecycle. In fact, the Beetle was introduced in 1938 and finally bid adieu to the world in 2003. This lovable, bug-shaped economy car has been responsible for shaping countless family lifestyles, acting as reliable and dependable transportation across the globe. It’s not uncommon to hear of life-saving stories that feature a Beetle in them. That’s why we’re proud to offer this 62,497-mile 1972 Volkswagen Beetle from Warwick, New York, for sale to one lucky new owner. A Beetle makes for an excellent starter classic car, as it’s simple and cheap to maintain, easy to drive, and offers a slice of classic motoring without much of the related compromises. This car also comes with the original owners manual and original service records included with the sale.

Exterior and Interior

Volkswagen made thousands of changes and updates to the Beetle during its lengthy lifespan, but the car’s overall shape remained consistent. That’s why this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle is very similar to its 21 million siblings. Wearing a sunny Bahama Blue paint job, this car sports whitewall tires, chrome bumpers and chrome eyelashes over its cutesy headlamps. At the rear, it’s got the larger ‘elephant foot’ style taillamp clusters, while a roof rack is present atop the car to enhance its luggage carrying capacity. This is an accessory that’s most popular in places where Beetles did, or still do serve as taxis. The interior of this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle is a four-seat affair with cream vinyl upholstery and tan carpets adding a light and airy theme to the car. While the interior is roomy enough for up to four adults, the light colors and thin pillars really make it feel larger than it actually is. Creature comforts are far and few in a Beetle, but this particular car also comes with a period-correct push-button radio.

Engine

In the tail of this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle, as with its siblings lies an air-cooled flat-four engine. This car has got a 1,600cc unit driving the rear wheels, paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. So get in, slot into first gear and hear that iconic engine’s purr as you smoothly motor away.
