Vehicle Description
1961 Volkswagen Beetle Coupe
Why It Is Special
The Volkswagen Beetle, officially the Volkswagen Type 1, is a
two-door, five-passenger, rear-engine economy car that was
manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen.
The originating concept behind the first Volkswagen, the company,
and its name, is the notion of a people's car, a car affordable and
practical enough for common people to own. Hence the name, which is
literally "people's car" in German.
We have a mint condition, ultra rare, 1961 Wolfsburg edition rag
top Beetle with only 47k miles.
It has the original German glass, a 1200cc engine, and is fully
restored including a disc brake conversion, and a 4 Speed Manual
transmission.
