The VW Beetle is one of the most recognizable and beloved cars ever built, with over 21.5 million produced and a design that spanned 65 years. This example was built as a convertible in 1969 and underwent a meticulous body-off restoration from 2013–2022, resulting in a show-quality example. Purchased by MS CLASSIC CARS in May 2025, it’s been fully serviced, detailed, and driven just 165 test miles since completion.
