    Vintage Air-Cooled Icon | Extensive Recent Service

    Offered here is a beautifully restored 1966 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, one of the most recognizable and beloved automobiles ever produced. This example spent over three decades with a prior owner before undergoing a restoration in 2017, and it was acquired by the current owner in May 2025.

    Finished in classic red over black upholstery with a beige convertible top, this Beetle blends period-correct charm with thoughtful mechanical upgrades designed to improve reliability and drivability. Under current ownership alone, more than $16,000 in documented service work has been performed, making this a highly sorted example of the iconic air-cooled convertible.
