Overview of 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing Texas Rose Yellow paint, this 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle sports a black canvas top for those open-air drives because why not? Cruising in a hardtop Beetle is nice enough, but drop the top and you can soak in the admiration and appreciation by passers-by even more. This car rides on a set of silver alloy wheels, has chrome bumpers and that inimitable, cutesy face that every Beetle rocks. The black interior of this 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle can easily accommodate four adults. Alternatively, three children could easily fit in the rear seat, remember, this was, first and foremost, a family car. So, it’s spacious, practical, and well-equipped for its time. This particular car also enjoys a positively luxurious feature in the shape of a radio from Yamaha, replete with a cassette tape player. Why, aren’t we fancy! As for cargo, there’s space under the hood because, remember, in a Beetle, the engine lives out back.

Engine

This 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle comes with a 1.6-liter variant of the famous flat four that gives every Beetle its friendly and recognizable purr – if it hasn’t been swapped with something else, that is. The air-cooled unit is carbureted and looks to be in great shape. It drives the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Drum brakes on all four wheels ensure ample stopping power. Unassisted steering is present, but since there isn’t a lot of weight over the front wheels, you won’t need to cultivate bulging arm muscles to drive this car. Oh, and thanks to the water-cooled nature, there’s no need to bother about antifreeze in Winter.
