(Please note: If you happen to be viewing this vehicle on a website
other than our main website, it's possible that only some of our
many photographs of this car are not presented due to website
limitations. To be sure you access all the photographs, please go

convertible offered here is a very nice example of a classic
Volkswagen Beetle. It is in every respect a standout automobile.
The eye-catching two tone exterior is the result of a restoration
that was completed approximately 15 years ago. The green hue on the
car looks to be very similar to the original VW color of Rush
Green. Color matched wheels wrapped in white wall tires with VW
chrome caps finish off the exterior look of this slug bug. Inside,
the green seat upholstery with white piping is complemented by
matching green and white upholstery on the door panels and lower
interior vertical surfaces. A simple design ethic is followed
inside the car with only-what's-necessary dashboard
instrumentation, a white shift knob, single bar steering wheel, and
window winders. Where American cars of that time celebrated chrome
and excess, the Beetle was a minimalist's dream. The 1192cc engine
here is original to the car, and like everything else, is fully
restored. Every mechanical aspect of the car is completely
functional including the floor-shifted transmission, lighting, and
brakes. Every discriminating collector will want to inspect the
undercarriage photographs, so it's worth mentioning that the floor
pans are original to the car. It won't take much imagination,
however, for the car's new owner to picture piloting this two tone
classic Beetle out of the dealership for the first time, maybe on
an inaugural drive to the beach. Hey, it's 1959 all over again! Be
