1962 Volkswagen Beetle Sunroof Sedan

Vehicle Overview

Ended on Bring a Trailer Auctions : 1962 Volkswagen Beetle



This 1962 Volkswagen Beetle was acquired by the current owner in 1997 and was subsequently refurbished, with work including a repaint in turquoise, a 12-volt electrical conversion, installing Firestone whitewall tires, and replacing the sunroof cover, spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor, wiring harness, carburetor, and fuel and brake-system components. Power is from a 1.2-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, and equipment includes chrome bumpers, running boards, rear mud flaps, beige vinyl upholstery, and a spare wheel-mounted tool kit. This Beetle is now offered on dealer consignment with a Stiftung AutoMuseum Volkswagen Zertifikat, one door key, one ignition key, a California black license plate, and a clean California title in the owner’s name.

The car was refinished, reportedly in the original turquoise (L380), and it features a sunroof with a matching vinyl cover, running boards, Volkswagen-branded rear mud flaps, and chrome bumpers and trim. The windshield wipers are disconnected and retain a six-volt wiper motor, and the rear fenders were repainted more recently than the rest of the body.

Two-tone 15? wheels have chromed hubcaps and are mounted with Firestone Gum Dipped whitewall tires. The selling dealer reports that the brake master cylinder and shoes were replaced during the refurbishment.

The spare wheel is mounted with an older tire and houses an aftermarket tool kit underneath a hinged cover.
