This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle is a strong-running classic with a true
patina style.
There's something quite cool about this car's appearance. A
patina's car rolling down the road looks like it has lived an
interesting life thus far. After all, survivors have cool stories.
Plus, light blue looks good on a cheery Beetle. But the brighter
pieces tell the car's full story. Those 15-inch Eagle Alloys wheels
give you the option of modern tires for good cruising. And the
polished look of the dual exhaust tips is a subtle signal that they
have made sure to invest in the motor to keep this a
strong-runner.
The interior is pure vintage Volkswagen. That means an airy
atmosphere, clean door panels, and the fur-like covers are
protecting good-looking high-back bucket seats. The dash is a full
classic VW experience with the thin/grippy steering wheel with
Wolfsburg crest in the center, the vintage VDO speedometer, and
even the correct AM radio is there for display. So it feels like a
time capsule just like the patina exterior.
Under the rear hatch is the 1500cc flat-four. These Volkswagens are
known for hardy motors, and this one fires up with the kind of
eagerness that tells us it was well maintained. The Germans are
great at engineering, and the Beetle is really part of that proof.
The rear engine over the rear wheel makes the most out of the
power, and it offered superior traction. Plus, the air-cooled motor
doesn't have a radiator to overheat. And the four-speed manual
transmission is the ideal way to give you firm control over it
all.
This Beetle has a cool patina style that gives it the feeling of a
classic that has earned your respect. For many of us, that's
exactly how we want our classic to be seen. So when you can get it
all for such an affordable price, you need to call today!
