Vehicle Description
STK 2474 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle
Early in 1972, sales of the Volkswagen Beetle topped 15,000,000,
surpassing those of the Ford 'Model T', to earn the bug the title
of "world's most popular car." This stunning 1972 Volkswagen Super
Beetle is an amazing example of one of these classics. Our Beetle
is all-original except for an exterior re-spray (believed to be
1965 Mustang Yellow) in 2003. The factory interior is in very good
condition. Dash and gauges are excellent and the sound system has
been upgraded with an aftermarket AM/FM/cassette. True, there is no
air conditioning, no power seats or power locks, but there is a
flow-through ventilation system, tinted windows and two luggage
spaces - one under the front hood plus a second in the carpeted
area behind the folding rear seat. Standard safety features include
a four-spoke energy-absorbing steering wheel, seat belts for the
driver and passenger and two-speed electric wipers with a pneumatic
washer system. The Beetle is powered by a 60HP 1600cc flat four
that is totally original, never rebuilt. In 1968 Volkswagen
introduced a 3-speed semi-automatic transmission. Our VW is
equipped with this "Automatic Stick Shift" gearbox which utilizes a
torque converter and vacuum-operated clutch. Models equipped with
this transmission also received an improved semi-trailing arm rear
suspension. The 4-wheel drum brakes are managed by a dual master
cylinder and perform well. Volkswagen 15" road wheels with factory
hubcaps mount nice 165x80x15" radial tires. This is a nice "Bug"
and someone is going to have a lot of fun with it. ALL VEHICLES
SOLD "AS IS".
