*Professionally Restored and Overhauled
*
According to the accompanying Volkswagen Certificate, this Beetle began its journey in 1961 in Nuremberg, Germany. After several years of reliable service, it was thoroughly restored and overhauled by a specialist, with no detail left unattended. Since then, this vintage VW has claimed numerous accolades at a variety of shows, underscoring the top-tier workmanship that went into it. Now proudly displayed in our Gallery, it continues to radiate a level of quality that’s hard to match.

The bodywork is in outstanding condition, with precise panel gaps, a good-quality shade of Indigo Blue paint finish, and impeccable chrome elements. The glass and elegant wheels are equally flawless. The soft top is in pristine shape, as our website photos will illustrate.

Inside, the cabin was restored with the same meticulous attention. The beautiful dashboard, complete with its characteristic steering wheel, appears almost untouched, and the carpeting is in excellent condition. Even when you open the doors to inspect the door jambs closely, you’ll immediately notice the high standard of restoration work throughout.

This Beetle’s famously dependable engine was overhauled along with the rest of the mechanical components. As Beetle enthusiasts, we’re very familiar with that classic “Bug” sound—and this one is a treat. The transmission shifts smoothly, and the entire driving experience exudes reliability. No wonder the VW concept remains so legendary worldwide.
