Overview of 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle For Sale by Owner

Definitely one of the most influential cars of all time, the Volkswagen Beetle sold over 21.5 million units in a production run spanning seven decades! Introduced in 1938 as a way to mobilize the ordinary German family, the Beetle soon started accomplishing this goal all over the world! It was a symbol of free culture during the Sixties, and to this day, remains one of the best starter classic cars in the world. Its simplistic mechanicals, oodles of charm and easy driving experience make it perfect for anyone who wants to try out classic cars. That’s why this 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle is not likely to stay available for long. With under 56,000 miles on the clock, you’d better act fast to secure this Portland-based Bug if it catches your fancy.

Exterior and Interior

This 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle’s body is clothed in a lovely shade of light yellow paint, but curiously, its left rear fender comes in a contrasting shade of metallic bluish gray. We aren’t sure why this is, but it sure makes an interesting conversation piece. Who knows, maybe you might decide to spray the three remaining fenders in this color as well – it certainly gels well against the hay yellow body. Or, you might just paint that fender in yellow too – the choice is yours, dear buyer! Either way, the car is a heart stealer, with its cutesy headlamps, friendly shape, chrome hubcaps and dainty wrap-around bumpers. The interior of this 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle is, like all Beetles, a proper four-seat affair. That’s because the car was intended as a family transporter, so proper adults can fit in its rear seats. The front seats feature a two-tone black and red upholstery theme for a touch of sportiness. You’ll also find a newer Kenwood Bluetooth-capable head unit with a CD player, AUX and USB inputs.

Engine

This 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle is propelled by a 1.6-liter air-cooled flat-four. The engine is said to be the dual port variant, and powers the rear axle through a 4-speed manual gearbox. You’ve also got dual-circuit hydraulic drum brakes at the front and rear. With its friendly purr, this Bug is guaranteed to worm its way into your heart!

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

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.

VERIFIED SELLER
$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.
