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!

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.

The Chevrolet Chevelle became one of America's most recognizable nameplates during the 1960s, offering everything from practical family transportation to serious V8 performance.
