Vehicle Description
Take some time to look over one of the coolest bugs around. This
1972 Volkswagen Beetle has a unique clutch-less AutoStick
transmission. Plus, it has a great color combo inside and out. But
even a standout like this is still everyday affordable.
We all love the Beetle because these are classic cars with a sturdy
German-engineered base. It provides for a strong foundation to
build an individual spirit. This one seems to go for a bright
appearance that starts with a radiant red. It's an upgrade later in
life, it has the smooth feel and smooth shine that makes this
classic look memorable. There are some signs of enjoyment, but
that's actually part of this car's charm. We're told it was owned
for quite some time by an older lady who liked to take it to car
shows (we even have a box of trophies that go with the sale.) And
this one has a touch of added flair where factory pieces like the
chrome bumpers, hubcaps, and full-length trim are supplemented by
additional brightwork on the wheels, wheel wells, around the
handles, and on the rear air inlets.
The creamy white interior gives this a touch of an upper-class
look. The high-back bucket seats that came on the later models are
particularly comfortable for all-day cruising. Plus, there are good
upgrades like the center console, AM/FM digital tuner w/cassette,
and upgraded speakers. This Beetle might look like it's a stick
shift, but if you count the pedals, you don't have to be
intimidated. VW's optional AutoStick does all the clutch work, and
so all you do is row the gears with zero worries about
stalling.
Under the rear hatch is the correct air-cooled flat-four. More of
the proof that it was cherished by the old lady is in the way this
one fires up and runs so eagerly. Volkswagens sometimes were
off-putting to people who didn't know how to drive manual shifts.
So their solution was adapting the Autostick transmission that has
a vacuum-operated clutch. There's no third pedal, but you still get
the control of rowing through the three forward gears to get the
most out of the VW's hardy motor. And since the 1600cc was the
largest VW displacement from the series, it feels a bit nippy in
the lightweight coupe. The experience behind the wheel is all
smiles, and you'll get plenty of nostalgic looks as you cruise
around in this shining bug.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a great-looking VW with
features that will always attract attention. So when you want an
easy, affordable, and standout classic, this Beetle is the one.
