Overview of 1974 Volkswagen Beetle For Sale by Owner

This 1974 Volkswagen Beetle takes the familiar simplicity of the classic Type 1 and adds a thoroughly personalized performance and refresh story. Showing approximately 28,474 miles, this example is powered by a 2,200cc naturally aspirated bored-out air-cooled flat-4 fitted with dual Spanish Weber carburetors and backed by a Rancho Performance-built 4-speed manual transmission. Its documented refresh work from 2006 through 2009 included media blasting, suspension-related work, interior refurbishment, and sound-deadening material, giving this Beetle a much more developed presentation than a basic cosmetic makeover.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1974 Volkswagen Beetle is finished in blue and retains the unmistakable rounded bodywork that made the Beetle one of the most recognizable cars ever built. Chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome headlight trim, chrome side mirrors, black bumper guards, and aftermarket wheels give the car a clean custom look without straying too far from its classic Volkswagen identity. The body was plastic media blasted as part of the documented refresh, and the car also received a custom paint job during its refresh work. The interior of this 1974 Volkswagen Beetle is finished in charcoal gray and light gray tweed and was comprehensively refreshed with Sewfine components. The front seats are Sewfine Sportz Colorado units, matched by corresponding rear upholstery, while charcoal tweed trim with light gray tweed inserts continues onto the seats and custom door panels. A gray carpet set, aftermarket wood-rim steering wheel, and Eastwood Xtreme Dynamat sound-deadening material round out an interior that feels distinctly more tailored than a stock Beetle cabin.

Engine

Mounted at the rear is a 2,200cc naturally aspirated bored-out air-cooled flat-4 equipped with dual Spanish Weber carburetors and an aftermarket exhaust system. The engine is paired with a Rancho Performance-built 4-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels, giving this Beetle a much stronger enthusiast focus than a factory-spec example. Documented Race Metalsmiths trailing-arm work adds to the mechanical refresh story, while the combination of increased displacement, twin carburetion, and a built performance-oriented transmission makes the drivetrain one of the most compelling aspects of this build.

Current Ask
$49,700

The Chevrolet Chevelle became one of America's most recognizable nameplates during the 1960s, offering everything from practical family transportation to serious V8 performance. Introduced as Chevrolet's answer to the growing intermediate-size market, the Chevelle quickly established itself as a favorite among American motorists, with the Malibu serving as its more upscale and stylish offering. The 1966 model year brought a significant redesign, introducing the sweeping body lines, sculpted rear quarters, and distinctive styling that helped define the Chevelle's second generation. This 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Convertible captures that era beautifully, finished in classic Tropic Turquoise with a matching Turquoise interior and contrasting White convertible soft top. Under the hood sits a 283ci V8 paired with a three-speed column-shift manual transmission, an increasingly uncommon configuration affectionately known as the "three-on-the-tree." With power steering, power brakes, and factory-style appointments, this Malibu offers a traditional American motoring experience. Showing approximately 34,122 miles, this turquoise convertible is an appealing choice for enthusiasts who appreciate the simplicity, character, and open-air enjoyment of a classic Chevrolet.
