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.
Inspection
The 1966 Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most iconic vehicles ever produced, celebrated for its unmistakable styling, simple mechanical design, and enduring enthusiast following. Showing 71,480 miles, this example represents the classic Beetle formula with its 1,300cc air-cooled flat-four engine, rear-engine layout, and engaging 4-speed manual transmission. Finished in Bahama Blue with a reupholstered two-tone interior, this Beetle combines vintage charm with refreshed presentation while preserving the character that has made the Volkswagen Beetle a beloved classic around the world.
