Vehicle Description

Highlights

THIS... is a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle, finished in gray with a brown interior.

  • This Beetle's factory-fitted 1.2-liter flat-4 has been replaced by a 1.6-liter flat-4.
  • A partial list of notable currently installed equipment reported by the seller includes a 12-volt electrical system, front and rear lap belts, and sound-deadening material under the carpet.
  • One of the most prolific and recognizable cars of the 20th century, the iconic Volkswagen Beetle holds the title for the longest-produced vehicle on a single platform. While the original Beetle ended production in Germany in the late 1970s, manufacturing continued in Mexico until July 2003. Fans of the Bug praise it for its simplicity and raw driving experience, owing in part to its rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout and limited amenities.
  • Power comes from a 1.6-liter air-cooled flat-4. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission.
