Although originally conceived as a no-frills car to provide transport to the masses, the charm of the humble Volkswagen Beetle has led to one of the most diverse and inclusive fan bases in the world. With over 21 million Volkswagen Beetles produced, the Beetle seemingly appeals to all ages and tastes and provides a platform for both collectors and customizers to indulge in. When it comes to Beetles, we’ve listed everything at Exotic Car Trader: from concourse-level restorations, low mileage survivors, and some of the wildest creations. And we think you’ll agree; our featured 1959 Volkswagen Beetle most certainly falls into the latter category. This impressive Beetle build was completed in 2007 and embraces the custom hot-rod trend, with extensive modifications made to the body. However, it still manages to preserve the Beetle connection, leaving onlookers with little doubt over what lies in front of them. If you’re in the market for a truly unique creation, then this customized 1959 Volkswagen Beetle may just be the car for you.
Just about every part of this 1959 Volkswagen Beetle appears to have been customized in some way or another. The body features a chopped roof for open-air motoring, with a custom-chopped windshield and windshield frame that further lowers the exterior height. You’ll also find that the doors have been sealed, providing extra rigidity to the body. The owner reports that the car was painted in 2007, and the hood features a custom flame graphic. You'll also notice that the VW badge on the front has been swapped out for a skull and crossbones. The front and rear fenders have been removed to reveal the suspension setup in all its glory. Meanwhile, this Bug’s headlights have also been relocated to accommodate the lack of fenders. A red rear luggage rack is installed on the engine cover, while the Beetle rests on red-painted wire-spoke wheels with chrome center caps. The wheels are wrapped in Firestone rubber, which offers a period-looking tread pattern. Moving inside, you won’t find an air conditioning unit, but you will find a red interior with a custom dashboard. The seats feature lap belts and there's a radio with Bluetooth and USB compatibility.
Mounted at the rear is a flat-four air-cooled engine — but, not just any engine. The owner reports that this 1600c unit was sourced from another VW, likely a later-model Beetle. The engine is mounted to a four-speed manual Freeway Flier racing transmission powering the rear wheels. This custom Beetle features drum brakes but includes the modern addition of power steering for effortless maneuverability at all speeds.

The Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most iconic cars in automotive history, is recognized for its distinctive shape and back story. It was created by the same engineer who founded Porsche, Ferdinand Porsche. The Volkswagen Beetle in itself is a historical figure, as it symbolized a shift from cars being a privilege for the wealthy to a dream that everyone could fulfill. Therefore, buying a Beetle is not just about owning a classic car but also about owning a piece of world history with countless stories to be told. This particular 1979 air-cooled boxer four-cylinder German we have today has been meticulously restored back to life with a small twist: a turbocharger. With just 55,500 miles reported, this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle is ready to take you on some exciting expeditions.

Classic cars often get a bad rep for being unreliable modes of transport; the mere mention of one and images of being stuck on the side of the road looking for help may come to mind for those who don't know the magic of owning one. In essence, Classic cars soothe the soul; every gear shift evokes a sense of freedom, and the mechanical symphony that goes alongside it makes for driving memories that can't be replicated. It is true that owning a classic car can be a troublesome experience if not done right; it takes patience to see things through; what if you could experience classic car ownership minus the supposed hardships of keeping one going? Present today is this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Karmann. Its reliable classic car ownership ensures more time behind the wheel and less time on the side of the road.

And if you're a Beetle aficionado, you likely already have the ideal trim, powertrain, and model year picked out on your wishlist. Present today is this lovely 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle; this classic beauty is reported to be a one-owner example with all its original paperwork and is a factory-clean example geared to liven up your weekend drives with peace, love, and happiness.

The Volkswagen Kombi, Transporter, Camper, Microbus or T2 is a well-known light commercial vehicle. Introduced in 1949, it used the Beetle’s powertrain, but installed it within a larger and longer body that could be had in many styles. These included panel vans, pickup trucks, passenger microbuses, ice cream vans, and campers. In the Sixties, the model really took off, with the movement of peace and love. Many microbuses were converted into campers, and many more continue to receive this treatment even in the current era. However, if you want to buy a VW Kombi that’s already received the conversion, check out this 1995 Volkswagen EuroVan Camper that we’re selling with only 45,500 miles on the clock. Having undergone a full restoration, the vehicle comes with a comfortable and practical interior, two keys, and infinite amounts of charm and nostalgia.

Dodge is a major contributor to American muscle car culture, and even with the current EV trend Dodge is adapting to offer EV options for the segment. However, this listing is not about EV muscle cars but rather about old-school, mechanical to the core, vintage muscle cars. The Dodge Division of Chrysler Motors first produced the Dart model as a line of large passenger cars. As the generations passed and the Dart options list lengthened, it joined a new and smaller breed of American muscle cars. The year 1969 saw the addition of the Dart Swinger 340 and it was the best by far. This is your chance to own one with a full frame off restoration. With no more than 1000 miles on its clock, this beauty is available for sale in Wisconsin.
