1972 Vw Super Beetle Autostick Mostly Original Excellent Runner Rust Free on 2040-cars

1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle

Autostick

Hello in eBay land..  I don’t know why I love this little car so much.. maybe writing an ad will help me to figure it out.

I have always had a bug in my life.  From the time I was 16..  My first car was a ’74..  Anyway, I have owned them and driven them and used them for 30 years now.  Last year I bought a federalized Mexican bug made in 2003 with almost no miles!  I was disappointed to be honest.  Cheap and poorly made. 

Then I happened across this car.  It’s a 1972 Super Beetle with an Autostick transmission.  I had driven one in the past but was close minded to the transmission.  When I was younger, I thought it was goofy.  I also thought only of performance.  Economy and sensibility was not in my diction.  Today, I have a different attitude.  I like the odd, the overlooked..  The over engineered.  That is exactly what this little beetle is.  Overdone, overlooked, over-engineered and today..  Really cool because of it.

This car helped to change my mind about the quality of real German quality and craftsmanship.  The car is just simply well made.  This car specifically, drives like a dream.  It is tight, and dependable.  It is actually fun and easy to drive.  I use mainly 2 gears, but there is a low too it you need it.  So 3 forward gears plus reverse.  No clutch pedal.  Just gas and brakes.  If you set your hand on the shifter the car goes into a neutral setting and once you remove your hand it’s back in gear..

It is really a pleasure to drive..  Super easy and fun.  The motor runs awesome, everything works too.

The seats were redone and are actually really cool and Recaro like.  They were surely very expensive and the material is high grade.  They are a bit sporty for the car, but they sure are nice. 

The paint is fair..  Not great, but not horrid either.  Lots of it is still original with touch ups over the years.  It’s pretty expensive to paint a car correctly these days, so I’m not sure it’s needed.  I would just enjoy the car as it is and enjoy the quirk of it.  Maaco is always an option, but I have never been impressed with the quality.

So, to sum this up..  This is a nice RUST FREE excellent running little bug that has the rare Autostick transmission.  It is ready to use.  It needs nothing mechanically to be enjoyed.  Cosmetically, it’s nice but not a show piece. 

I am setting the reserve very low and I know the Beetle will sell the first go around as long as we all play by these rules.
