1974 VW Super Beetle Sedan For Sale



This happy little pumpkin is a freshly restored 1974 Super Beetle that has been the pet project of a local
VW mechanic in the Orange County area. To fill in spare time between jobs he always has something to tinker with and for the
past couple of years, this has been the car. It started out as a very very solid original California car
that he got from a customer and over the past couple of years he has restored it back to the shiny machine you see here.


The car was pulled apart to a rolling shell and then brought to the paint shop for a fresh layer of the
ultimate 70's VW color...bright orange. The bodywork and paint is very nice on th car and it has a very good
factory fresh look to it.


All new window rubber, body trim and interior were installed and mechanically it was gone through to insure that
it is a reliable driver for it's new owner.


Great looking car. Thes Super Beetles are starting to be watched by collectors as the earlier models are becoming
harder to find, and getting a nice clean solid one is the quest of many. This one is a good one underneath
as well as being super clean cosmetically.

New fender beading and turn signal seals.

stock painted wheels.

on the market today. Done by a known and respected long time VW Porsche mechanic...it is a car that should provide
some good solid service for it's new owner, and is a car that cosmetically give you something to be proud of.
