Vehicle Description
STK 3972 1972 Volkswagen Beetle
Sales of the Volkswagen Beetle topped 15MM in 1972, surpassing the
Ford 'Model T' to earn the title of "world's most popular car."
This 1972 Volkswagen Beetle is a unique example of one of these
classics. The partially restored Beetle is in overall good
condition. The solid, straight exterior received a 2-tone re-spray
that accents the lines of the Bug and chrome/stainless components
present well. The interior is in overall good condition. Door
cards, headliner and carpeting are nice, but the vinyl upholstery
could use some attention. The sound system has been upgraded with
an Alpine AM/FM stereo and there is a lot of luggage space behind
the folding rear seat. The '72 Bug was powered by a 1600cc
flat-four that output 60hp-85lb/ft. The engine compartment of this
Beetle is very clean and the rebuilt motor (2019) has been fitted
with an EMPI 2-barrel progressive-linkage carb conversion kit. It
is backed by a synchronized 4-speed manual gearbox and both the
engine and transmission pans are dry with no apparent seal leaks.
The underside of the unibody shows some age surface rust and the
running boards appear to be very solid. Stopping power is furnished
by 4-wheel drum brakes and Minilite-style alloy wheels mount
205/65Rx15 Douglas radial tires. This is a fun Beetle that will
provide a lot of enjoyment to its new owner. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS
IS".
