For Sale: 1968 Volkswagen Beetle in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

The 1968 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible showcases a vibrant red exterior. Its iconic shape is accentuated by the drop-top design, featuring a tan canvas convertible top with a glass rear window. Chrome accents highlight the rounded headlights and classic VW emblem. This Bug rides on 15" VW steel wheels wrapped in Federal 165/80R15 tires, with faux whitewall inserts for a vintage touch. Running boards flank the sides, while a chrome-tipped dual exhaust system exits at the rear.

Black upholstery dominates the interior, creating a stark contrast with the exterior. Bucket seats offer firm support for drivers and passengers alike. A metal steering wheel directly connects to the road, while the factory-style VDO gauge cluster keeps vital information in clear view. An aftermarket radio delivers modern sound through front lower kick panel speakers and additional units in the rear deck area. The door panels maintain their original design, preserving the classic Beetle aesthetic.

This Volkswagen is powered by a 1600cc flat-four engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The air-cooled powerplant features a single-barrel carburetor and stock-style manifold, delivering the quintessential VW driving experience. A torsion bar suspension system, both front and rear, provides the characteristic Beetle ride. Manual drum brakes bring the car to a stop, while manual steering offers precise control. The underside remains clean, reflecting careful ownership and maintenance.
