Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this
1966 Volkswagen Beetle Herbie the Love Bug Replica. Herbie started
his film career as a cute 1963 Volkswagen Beetle in the 1968 Disney

and was capable of driving himself. He was also a serious contender
in auto racing competitions. Throughout most of his film and TV
appearances, Herbie is distinguished by red, white and blue racing
stripes running from front to back bumpers, a racing-style number
'53' on the front luggage compartment lid, doors, and engine lid.

Transverse 4 Cylinder engine, delivering a spirited performance
that is both reliable and engaging. Paired with a 4-speed manual
transmission, this vehicle promises a driving experience that is
both hands-on and exhilarating, appealing to those who appreciate
the tactile satisfaction of a manual gearbox. This classic
Volkswagen Beetle is equipped with a range of features designed to
enhance your driving pleasure. The manual sunroof invites natural
light into the cabin, creating an airy and open atmosphere for
those sunny drives. The radial tires ensure a smooth and stable
ride, providing confidence and comfort on the road. Safety is also

your journeys. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a classic car
