Background Story of this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle

Overview of 1979 Volkswagen Beetle For Sale by Owner

1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod LT1

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$55,000
SOLD

There are custom builds, and then there are machines like this. This 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod shows just 710 miles and represents a complete reimagination of one of the most recognizable economy cars ever built. Far removed from its humble air-cooled origins, this Beetle has been transformed into a full custom hot rod powered by a Chevrolet LT1 V8, riding on a tubular chassis, and engineered with hardware more commonly found in purpose-built performance cars. From its chopped roofline and wide rear stance to its remote-controlled suicide doors and bespoke interior, this is a build created to command attention wherever it goes. The title carries a rebuilt designation noted in title history, which should be fully disclosed, but this vehicle’s appeal lies in its craftsmanship, engineering ambition, and sheer uniqueness rather than originality.

1957 Volkswagen Beetle

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$54,999
SOLD

Few automobiles have achieved the universal recognition of the Volkswagen Beetle, and even fewer have maintained the enduring charm of the early oval-window cars. This 1957 Volkswagen Beetle represents one of the most beloved eras of the Type 1, combining the purity of the classic air-cooled formula with the unmistakable character that helped mobilize postwar Europe and eventually win over the world. Showing 4,042 miles on the odometer, this figure should be considered mileage shown unless otherwise documented, as is typical with collector vehicles of this vintage. Finished in black over a striking red leather interior with white piping, this Beetle presents a far more bespoke appearance than a standard factory example, further enhanced by its bifold ragtop and included matching trailer. For collectors seeking vintage Volkswagen charm with added personality, this package offers an especially eye-catching proposition.

$16,999
SOLD

The 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Coupe is one of the most iconic cars ever produced, celebrated for its simplicity, charm, and unmistakable design. This particular example, showing 88,912 miles, takes that classic formula and transforms it into a bold tribute to Auburn University. Finished in a striking blue and orange color scheme and featuring custom Auburn-themed details throughout, this Beetle stands as a rolling expression of school pride. It blends vintage German engineering with a personalized, collegiate identity, making it far more than just a classic car—it’s a statement piece. Whether you’re an Auburn fan or simply someone who appreciates unique builds, this Beetle offers character that few others can match.

1970 Buick Skylark 350 Sport Coupe

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$45,000

1970 marked an important year for Buick’s midsize muscle car lineup, as the Skylark 350 Sport Coupe blended the brand’s signature comfort with increasingly aggressive performance styling. While Buick’s GS models often stole the spotlight, well-optioned Skylarks like this example have become increasingly appreciated for offering the same muscular A-body proportions and V8-powered driving experience at a more approachable level. Showing approximately 19,245 miles on the odometer, this Skylark benefits from a substantial refurbishment and modernization effort that included drivetrain work, suspension upgrades, steering enhancements, interior refresh, and cosmetic refinishing. Finished in Bamboo Cream over a Saddle vinyl interior, this Buick stands out with tasteful GS Stage 1-inspired styling cues, upgraded handling components, and classic American muscle car presence.

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$44,999

The first-generation Plymouth Barracuda helped establish Chrysler’s foothold in the emerging pony car market during the 1960s, blending compact dimensions with unmistakable Mopar styling and V8 performance. This 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible represents the final year of the first-generation A-body Barracuda and shows approximately 2,171 miles on the odometer. Finished in Ermine White over a black vinyl interior, this convertible has been upgraded with a potent 340ci Mopar V8 while retaining much of its classic period-correct charm. Featuring performance-oriented upgrades such as “J” cylinder heads, a Sure-Grip rear differential, Moser axles, and an aftermarket shift kit, this Barracuda offers a more spirited driving experience than its factory configuration while still capturing the laid-back cruising personality of a classic American convertible. With its clean styling, white soft top, and tasteful upgrades, this Mopar stands out as a unique and highly usable vintage cruiser.
