Known for being a part of the select Sun Bug edition that was available for only a brief period in 1974, this particular Beetle captures attention with its rich history and distinctive aesthetics. Limited production and its specialized offerings make this vehicle particularly appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of both vintage Volkswagen models and unique automobiles.

Features List: - 1.6L 1641cc 4H motor - 4 Speed Manual Transmission - The Sun Bug is a rare special edition produced exclusively in 1974 - Beautiful original gold paint and brown corduroy interior - Sunroof - Original, zero-structural-rust condition - Original paint (exempting the trunk lid, which has been repainted) - Reupholstered seats in original fabric and pattern - Front disc brake conversion - Recently completed full tune-up - Newly installed alternator, fuel pump, intake manifold, and exhaust system - Premium Padrini wheels sourced from a Porsche 914 - Recently replaced tires

Mechanical: This Volkswagen Beetle is equipped with a robust 1.6L engine that delivers dependable performance tailored for this model. The mechanical condition is excellent, highlighted by a recent comprehensive tune-up including changes to the oil, wires, plugs, cap, rotor, and fuel filter.

This car still shows extraordinarily well thanks to its diligent maintenance and the absence of structural rust. The distinct Padrini wheels, derived from a Porsche 914, not only increase its aesthetic appeal but also hint at a sporty prowess underneath its classic exterior.
