No Reserve: 1958 Volkswagen Beetle

This 1958 Volkswagen Beetle is a green-over-white example that is powered by a 1.2-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. The car was acquired by the seller on BaT in February 2022 and is equipped with a roof rack, 15″ steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, a lowered suspension, chrome bumpers, a Solex carburetor, and replacement black carpets. This Beetle is now offered with a clean Virginia title in the name of the seller’s LLC.

Details include a left-side mirror, Hella headlights, front vent windows, chrome trim, a pea-shooter exhaust system, bumpers with overriders and guards, and a chrome-framed roof rack with wooden slats.
