Description:
Classic Car Addict is proud to present this convertible 1968Volkswagen Beetle for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. 1968 wasthe year the name "Beetle" was given to the car. Volkswagenreferred to the car as the "Type 1" until the 1968 model year. InEurope, it was marketed as the VW 1200/1300/1500 before adoptingthe "Beetle" name given to it by the public.1968 was the same year they introduced "Herbie". Disney's first"Herbie" movie, The Love Bug, debuted in 1968. The plot features aself-aware Beetle that is tied up in hijinks while also provingitself a successful race car. Early autonomous technology enablesHerbie to motor about on its own, a feat that's slightly morebelievable than the ease with which the 40-hp '63 Bug dispatchescompetitors at the track.A swing of the door and we see Royal Red metal painted surroundinga black horizontally ribbed vinyl panel, complete with the doorhandle window crank and a vinyl door pull. Dual textured vinylseats have smooth black vinyl bolsters and lots of clean blackpiping. The rear seat is a long bench and stretches from C pillarto C pillar. The carpeting has been removed from the floors, andCoco protective mats have been installed to keep your feet fromslipping. An unmolested and simple black painted dash with circularspeedometer and square gas gauge sit within the vertical ribbedspeaker area which is fronted by an original steering wheel inblack with a chrome horn ring and the castle Wolfsburg logo in thecenter. An AM/FM/CD radio is also mounted in the dash and is aperfect fit. The black convertible top is in excellentcondition.This cool little beetle has decently minded gaps and the paintisn't perfect (it shows well) but you can see the imperfections inthe video. Rounded fenders in red frame the headlights with chromedvisors looking a lot like eyelashes for cars. The lenses for theturn signals and taillights all present well with nice chrometrimming which goes with the black rubber piping seen throughoutbetween the seams of the fenders and bodywork. The rest of thechrome trimmings are present with badging is all correctdesignation. Blackwall tires have shiny dog dish style wheelcoverings, and this adds to the black trim mystique.A cleaned up but not original (AH412069) 1600cc horizontallyopposed 4-cylinder engine sits in the rear of this car.
