1972 Volkswagen Beetle Super Beetle Convertibl 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible
Description:
From the sunny shores of Hawaii to cruising across mainland America, this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle Super Beetle Convertible has lived with the same owner since new. The bright yellow exterior gives this German classic a vibrant personality, enhanced by the black vinyl convertible top with plastic rear window. EMPI wheels sized at 15 inches and wrapped in 165/80R15 Kumho tires provide a solid stance, while Karmann badging and chrome-tipped dual exhaust add subtle finishing touches.
The straightforward black interior carries the authentic VW simplicity with vinyl bucket seats and floor-mounted shifter. Manual windows and simple controls maintain the pure driving spirit of the era. An aftermarket cassette radio with door-mounted speakers offers audio options beyond the original AM setup. The dash remains crack-free despite showing age-appropriate fading, while the rubber flooring throughout provides functional durability for weekend adventures.
Powering this compact convertible is the air-cooled 1600cc flat-four engine connected to a 4-speed manual transmission. The VW transaxle puts power to the ground through the rear wheels. MacPherson strut front suspension and IRS torsion bar rear with shock absorbers deliver balanced handling. Drum brakes at all four corners handle stopping duties. The engine bay presents clean and tidy with single barrel carburetor and stock manifolds keeping everything authentic.
