This 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle sedan is powered by a 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and is finished in Bright Orange over black leatherette. The car was previously sold on Bring a Trailer in January 2022, and it now has 23k miles. Equipment includes a sunroof, quarter vent windows, drum brakes, 15″ steel wheels, and an AM/FM stereo. This 1303 Super Beetle is offered at no reserve on dealer consignment in California with an owner’s manual, a technical manual, and a clean Colorado title.
The car is finished in Bright Orange (L20B) and features a sunroof with a wind deflector as well as quarter vent windows, a driver mirror, a rear window defroster, running boards, and chrome-finished impact-absorbing bumpers. The selling dealer states that the left-rear fender was refinished and close-up photos presented in the gallery show chips in the paint.
Silver-finished 15″ steel wheels wear VW-stamped chrome hubcaps and are mounted with 165-series Atlas whitewall tires. The car was factory-equipped with a MacPherson strut and coil spring front suspension in place of the standard Beetle’s torsion bar setup. Stopping power is provided by drum brakes at all four corners. Corrosion is visible on the wheels.
The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in black leatherette. Interior appointments include a lockable glove box, a heater, and a Bowman Astrosonix AM/FM stereo.
The four-spoke steering wheel features a Wolfsburg crest and fronts a 100-mph VDO speedometer with an inset fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 23k miles.
The air-cooled 1.6L flat-four was factory rated at 46 horsepower and 72 lb-ft of torque and features a single downdraft carburetor.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. The underside was cleaned under current ownership
