Vehicle Description
This 1972 Volkswagen Beetle has an attraction that's as clear as
black & white, literally. And its appeal is more than just the
paint. You'll see good investments in the powerhouse and nice
additions for a proper cruiser from one of the Beetle's most unique
years.
The tuxedo-like two-tone of this car gives it an instant
distinction. It not only makes the front end look like it's
smiling, but the high contrast look of the fenders and the body
also seems to help highlight the good panel fit of this
German-built classic. The overall idea is to have a driver-quality
and driver-ready car. And part of being a fun classic meant to be
out in the world is that you want to get noticed. Besides just the
two-tone, this has custom details, like the trim done in black and
shiny Wolfsburg crest wheel covers. It's a nice way to add
distinction without being too boisterous.
The black and white color theme continues inside. Comfy front
bucket seats, a grippy steering wheel, and a very airy atmosphere
are the Beetle's calling cards, and it still feels correct inside.
A fun detail about the 1972 Super Beetle is that it was one of the
few years you could get the classic interior. And some of us really
like the original-style dash and flatter windshield. As a true
driver, it's not meant to be fancy. Still, you'll find a few
well-paced upgrades, including an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input to
plug your modern smartphone into this classic VW.
The familiar rear-mounted 1500 cc air-cooled flat-four engine is a
big part of the Beetle's appeal. They are easy to maintain and
upgrade, and as you can see on this one, it has the tidy look of a
properly-kept car. That's why it fires up readily with that iconic
air-cooled hum. Thanks to the four-speed manual transmission, you
get to take full control of the motor and its hypnotic soundtrack.
It's a great driving classic, and that's also because the Super
Beetle package includes the upgraded front suspension and larger
brake package.
This is the right mix of a later Beetle body with plenty of the
early Beetle flair. It's a distinct two-tone Bug that you need in
your life.
