Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • Full body-off restoration completed this year
  • Gorgeous example of the classic Beetle shape
  • “A wonderful machine to drive”

The Appeal

Originally a cheap alternative to the automobile for post-war Europe, the VW Beetle has become a cult icon thanks to several decade on the market and a characterful charm. 
This particular model, recently resprayed in stylish pale green paint has just come out of a full off-body restoration. With several new pieces including chrome attachments, mechanical and chassis elements and interior accessories, it is in fantastic condition. 
Thanks to the addition of earlier-model parts such as the front wings and light covers, this car features a unique look that very few other Beetles can boast. Furthermore, a quad-pipe Empi exhaust ensures a tuneful hum always bellow from the air-cooled boxer engine. Providing a thrill of driving and the ability to turn heads, this 1972 VW Beetle is surely a VW enthusiast’s perfect purchase for the upcoming summer weather.
