From the sunny shores of Hawaii to cruising across mainland
America, this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle Super Beetle Convertible has
lived with the same owner since new. The bright yellow exterior
gives this German classic a vibrant personality, enhanced by the
black vinyl convertible top with plastic rear window. EMPI wheels
sized at 15 inches and wrapped in 165/80R15 Kumho tires provide a
solid stance, while Karmann badging and chrome-tipped dual exhaust
add subtle finishing touches.
The straightforward black interior carries the authentic VW
simplicity with vinyl bucket seats and floor-mounted shifter.
Manual windows and simple controls maintain the pure driving spirit
of the era. An aftermarket cassette radio with door-mounted
speakers offers audio options beyond the original AM setup. The
dash remains crack-free despite showing age-appropriate fading,
while the rubber flooring throughout provides functional durability
for weekend adventures.
Powering this compact convertible is the air-cooled 1600cc
flat-four engine connected to a 4-speed manual transmission. The VW
transaxle puts power to the ground through the rear wheels.
MacPherson strut front suspension and IRS torsion bar rear with
shock absorbers deliver balanced handling. Drum brakes at all four
corners handle stopping duties. The engine bay presents clean and
tidy with single barrel carburetor and stock manifolds keeping
everything authentic.
