Currently listed on AutoHunter is this 1976 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, which is powered by a 1600cc horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Competition Orange and equipped with a black convertible top over a black vinyl interior, this VW Bug is now offered by the seller in Oregon with service records, an emissions report, a car cover, spare parts (including an engine), and a clear title.
After being stored for more than 10 years, this Beetle was recently refreshed. Its Competition Orange exterior features chrome bumpers with black trim, chrome trim, front fender-mounted turn signals, chrome side mirror housings, running boards, and dual exhaust outlets. A black manual soft top covers the passenger compartment.
The 15-inch chrome wheels have VW-branded hubcaps and come wrapped in 165/80 Federal Super Steel 657 radial tires.
Inside the cabin is black vinyl front bucket and rear bench seating. Features include manual windows, a floor-mounted shifter, and a locking glove box.
A VDO 100-mph speedometer with an integrated fuel gauge displays important information. The analog odometer shows 87,522 miles, but the title for this vehicle indicates it’s mileage-exempt.
The original engine was swapped out for a 1600cc horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine that has less than 200 miles on it. The powerplant is connected to a four-speed manual gearbox. New parts include a two-barrel carburetor, clutch, throwout bearing, pressure plate, and battery.
Underpinnings consist of a four-wheel independent suspension and drum brakes, which have been updated with new drums and shoes.
The parts that come with the purchase of this VW Beetle consist of a rebuildable engine, three spare carburetors, two distributors and flywheels, a workbench-mountable engine stand, and more.
The auction for this 1976 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible ends on Friday, May 2, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. (PDT).
