Vehicle Description
Perhaps one of the most endeared car ever produced was the VW
Beetle. Volkswagen literally rose from the ashes of WWII with the
Volkswagen Type 1 or Beetle. The Beetle was different, simple,
reliable and fun. These core elements would prove to be important
as the VW beetle would eventually become to be the most mass
produced car of all time; surpassing the Model T in 1972 with car
number 15,007, 034 and by 1973 production of the beetle surpassed
16 million units. More amazing than the production numbers, is that
the Beetle never became boring. Through Volkswagen's commitment to
quality, the Beetle kept evolving and improving over time. The
introduction of the Super Beetle in the early 70's demonstrated
that fact as VW deviated from their tried and true torsion bar
front suspension replacing it with a coil over strut suspension
improving usable space under the bonnet, creating a longer
wheelbase and improving overall suspension and handling.
The example offered here, according to the owner, is a three-owner
car that comes to the car friendly state of Arizona. The car has
been selectively restored and is finished in its original factory
color, L54D, marina blue. Today, this Beetle stands up as a
wonderful example in all areas. The miles are believed to be
original; mechanically the car runs great and is a blast to drive.
Documentation includes: Certificate of authenticity, owner history,
tons of service records, shop manual etc.

circles. With readily available parts simplicity of design, they
are easy classics to own and enjoy. The car offered here in this
desirable color combination, will surely pass enjoyment on to the
