No Reserve: 1975 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible

This 1975 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible is finished in dark red over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Features include a replacement black soft top, 15″ aftermarket wheels, front disc brakes, a Holley carburetor, an aftermarket muffler, an EMPI shifter, a center console, and a Pioneer CD stereo. The car previously resided in Maryland before its recent acquisition by the selling dealer in Florida, and a fluid service was carried out in anticipation of the sale. This Super Beetle convertible is now offered at no reserve with a car cover and a clean Maryland title.
