For Sale: 1969 Volkswagen Beetle in Mesa, Arizona

Here is a cool little 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Autostick. The blue exterior paired with the red interior gives this '69 a more modern look. Although not known for speed and power like a muscle car, Volkswagens have a huge cult following. Some reasons include great gas mileage, reliability, easy maneuverability, and their fun, quirky styling. For a small car, they offer surprisingly good space inside, while on the outside, you still have a tough steel body that can take an accident like any other late-model, all-steel car.

The interior looks to be in really good shape, with both door panels and seats finished in red vinyl with tan cloth inserts. A nice steering wheel pairs with a matching floor shifter, both featuring the Wolfsburg logo to represent its German heritage. The dashboard is black with a wood-trimmed gauge surround and a stock-appearing speedometer. To the right sits the radio and heat controls, and further right is an elegant woodgrain-style glove box door.

This Volkswagen is powered by a 1600 CC engine with a 2-barrel Solex carburetor. It's connected to a 3-speed automatic transmission with VW's Autostick system, which was a popular and interesting option for consumers at the time. In the rear, the Beetle uses a swing transaxle design, since the engine is rear-mounted and the car is rear-wheel drive. For stopping, traction, and good looks, it features front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, 15-inch wheels, and 165R15 BFG Radials with a 2020 date code. The exhaust appears mostly stock, so it runs fairly quietly.
