Vehicle Description
Quite arguably the most recognized car that has ever been produced
in the history of the automobile...The Beetle or internally and
aficionado known as the Type 1 was first introduced in 1938 and
would be built on a one-design platform until 2003. Eventually it
would be assembled on every continent and be distributed worldwide
with production hitting over 1 Million units several years in a row
with a final production of over 21 Million cars sold over its
lifetime. This particular little red sweetheart comes out of
long-term ownership and has had only two owners since it was
purchased. First owner was professor from Michigan State
University. The car was restored in the mid 1980's with paint and a
mechanical refresh. This bug starts perfectly, idles almost
immediately and goes down the road like a beetle should. It is fast
enough for the open road but not fast enough to worry about! The
top appears to be newer than original and is in very good shape.
Everything operates as it should, there is no rust in the body and
the underside shows some surface rust as one would expect from a 53
year old ride. These are such great cars and you cannot run in to a
car guy no matter what his automotive preference is without a story
about a Beetle. Furthermore, this is such a nice easy way to enter
the collector car market as they are still relatively affordable
and the VW community is huge and parts are available both from NOS
to Junk yard finds. This is a super nice driver that you could show
off in your towns car show gatherings.
