Up for sale in our Tampa Showroom is a very stunning example of German engineering, the 1967 Volkswagen Beetle. Made extremely popular during the 1950's-1970's, the Volkswagen Beetle has a cult following all its own. Ultimately the Volkswagen Beetle is designed for military simplicity, the cars follow a basic guideline of having a rear mounted engine/transmission, allowing these cars to be built, broken down, then rebuilt within the same day no matter what might happen to it. The engine is an air cooled 1500cc 4 cylinder, which despite not having the same horsepower levels as most cars of this era, does a great job of showing itself off due to how lightly engineered it is. The transmission is a 4-speed manual transmission, original to the car as well as the engine, and is just as fundamental and well built as the day it rolled off the factory floor. The interior of the car has been modified slightly to accomodate modern features, such as AM/FM Radio with a CD Player. The exterior of this car is done in an original style beige paint job, which accents the interior very well. When you pop open the front for the spare tire, you can see how meticulously this car has been restored and kept. Taking out a Volkswagen Beetle is like driving a time capsule and is always a welcome piece at any car show as well as a fantastic daily driver!
