This Volkswagen Beetle (1958-1979) got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1964 Volkswagen Beetle convertible is said to have been acquired by the current owner in 2010 out of California, and was subsequently imported to Canada. The car has been refinished in blue over tan upholstery and is powered by a replacement 1.8-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Features include a tan soft top with a matching boot cover, dual carburetors, VDO gauges, an aftermarket stereo, and 15″ wheels with VW hubcaps. This Beetle is offered in Canada by the seller on behalf of the owner with Quebec registration, which matches the California replacement VIN tag affixed to the car.
