Vehicle Description
There's something great about a unique Beetle. It's the recipe of
taking German precision, adding an affordable parts network, and
topping this one off with custom touches to make people turn heads.
That's why we love an affordable classic like this 1968 Volkswagen
Beetle.
We all love the iconic streamlined Beetle shape, but you can
instantly tell this one was given extra attitude during
restoration. The paint was upgraded to an orange and white
two-tone, and it has the kind of sweet high-gloss shine to give
this all the appeal of an orange creamsicle. There are some great
classic details, like the bumpers with override bows, yellow fog
lights, rear fog light, and there's even a roof rack that comes
with the sale. It's joined by attractive modern touches, like the
shining 15-inch EMPI alloys. And there was about $5k invested
within the last few years getting the stance and suspension just
right. There are even good fundamentals like the weather-stripping,
taillights, and good running board rubber. So it makes for the kind
of custom that's ideal for driving.
While the Beetle is known for being simple to fix and maintain,
it's also a treat to see that someone made a quality investment in
restoring the interior. The seats are stylish tan and cream
two-tone. The door panels and headliner also coordinate for a
uniform style. Upgrades like the EMPI wood-rimmed steering wheel
and a Black Mamba sport shifter make this a better driver. And you
get a better all-around cruiser thanks to an AM/FM/CD stereo
w/Bluetooth, and an upgraded speaker system featuring Kicker
speakers and an adjustable subwoofer.
The motor has a tidy setup to make sure that all areas of this
Beetle are worth showing off. This 1600cc flat-four was the largest
displacement from the original VW series, and this one fires up and
runs with the kind of quality that tells you it has been under
proper care. The crisp shifts of the four-speed manual transmission
put the power properly under your control. Plus, the upgraded sport
tires and front disc brakes add extra nimbleness to an already
sharp-driving package.
This is the classic Beetle that has been given the right upgrades
to be a stand-out all-around cruiser. So at a price like this, you
know you don't want to let it slip away. Call now!
