The Beetle sold in excess of 21 million units, making it rather easy to find one.

So why not enhance your automotive life with this 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle Sun Bug? The vehicle has seen some restoration done on it approximately two years ago, and comes with the original Sun Bug brochure.

Exterior and Interior

We’re informed that this 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle Sun Bug was repainted in this factory gold shade approximately two years ago. Hence, the car looks wonderful, and sports its original bumpers. Meanwhile, it’s got a set of black cap-style wheels for a delightfully vintage appearance. You’ll also notice that it’s been endowed with tinted glass, which is a boon for keeping the sun’s heat out of the airy cabin. We’ve also been told that while the original Sun Bug badge is not installed on the car, a replica has taken its place. The interior of this 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle Sun Bug is claimed to have been restored to factory specs around two years ago. It’s got new headlining and new carpeting to begin with. You’ve also got wood trim, and the original steering wheel in place. Meanwhile, a retro-styled radio has been installed with Bluetooth capabilities, plus a set of upgraded speakers so that you can listen to a wide array of tunes while driving this beautiful Bug. If you need to transport some luggage, just pop the hood and there’s ample space.

Engine

This 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle Sun Bug is powered by a 1.6L air-cooled flat-four engine mounted at the rear of the car, just like all classic Beetles tend to be (unless they’ve been modded, that is). We’re informed that the car has got its original engine and manual transmission, the latter restored to original specifications. So, while it may not be a tire-scorching V8 monster, this 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle Sun Bug is a happy little thing with the eager purr of its engine ever-ready to take you wherever you wish to go. It’s also superbly simplistic, making repairs a cinch.

The friendly-faced car that revolutionized transport, not only in Germany, but across the world. Yes, we’re talking about the original Volkswagen Beetle.

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.
