Vehicle Description
Step into a piece of motoring history with this charming 1967
Volkswagen Beetle, restored to capture the essence of the classic
VW experience while adding a touch of personalized style. This Ruby
Red gem has seen just 1,500 miles since its complete restoration
ten years ago, a meticulous project undertaken by its previous
owner who also ran The Bug Clinic in North Carolina. It's clear
this Beetle has been crafted with love and expertise, resulting in
a head-turner that drives as beautifully as it looks.
Finished in a timeless Ruby Red, this Beetle wears its color with
pride, showcasing a Charcoal interior that brings out a striking
contrast. The paint, while exhibiting a few minor flaws from its
journey over the years, remains brilliant and inviting, adding
character and charm that only a true vintage car can offer. Each
glance reveals the careful workmanship that went into preserving
this car's original appeal while upgrading it for modern
reliability and enjoyment.
Under the rear hatch, you'll find a rebuilt 1500cc engine-a modest
powerhouse that purrs with the spirited, iconic sound of a classic
VW motor. The 2-inch drop spindles give this Beetle an eye-catching
stance, lowering the body to create a sportier profile that stands
out on the road. Accompanied by EMPI wheels, this setup offers an
engaging drive that stays true to the Beetle's roots while giving
it a unique, custom edge. Paired with a smooth-shifting 4-speed
manual transmission, the ride is pure joy-effortless, responsive,
and inviting drivers to savor every shift.
One of the car's more recent upgrades includes a new black cloth
soft top, complete with a glass rear window and a white headliner
that gives the cabin a fresh, airy feel. Whether the top is up or
down, the experience remains enjoyable and classic, with a
nostalgic touch brought by the factory-installed AM radio-though it
currently has no sound, it serves as a reminder of simpler times
and leaves room for customization for those who want a modern audio
system.
This Beetle is an eye-catcher wherever it goes, consistently
drawing admiration for its personality and presence. Having been
previously sold at the renowned Mecum auction in 2022 for $30,800,
it holds a unique appeal for collectors and enthusiasts alike,
providing a chance to own a well-loved, well-maintained classic
with an impressive backstory. With just a few signs of wear and
tear that add to its story, this Beetle represents not just a car
but a piece of automotive history that has been cared for with
precision and passion.
Here's a Beetle ready to continue its journey, offering
reliability, charm, and the kind of driving pleasure that only
comes from a vintage VW. It's not just a car; it's a part of the VW
legacy-an emblem of craftsmanship and dedication.
