1974 Volkswagen Beetle – Daily Driver

For sale is my 1974 Volkswagen Beetle finished in a light blue color with a blue interior. This is a solid driver that starts, runs, and drives well. It presents nicely while still retaining the character of a vintage Volkswagen. Some interesting history is that 11 years ago this car was featured in an ad for KSL Cars called "replaced" (https://vimeo.com/120604793).

Features include:

• 1600cc air-cooled flat-four engine – original case with aftermarket SVDA distributor and electronic points

• Manual transmission

• Factory-style steel wheels with VW hubcaps

• Blue vinyl interior

• Vintage Utah registration

• Clean title in my name

The car has been registered and insured since 2011, and I’ve been using for my short daily commute ever since. It’s been parked in a garage every night, and it will be until you drive it home. Unlike your typical Beetle-for-sale that has been hidden or rusting in a field, this gets used, driven, worn, and repaired. I’m proud of the repairs that have made this car better than how I found it, and with the right care it can go another 50 years.

The car is a dependable local driver and gets plenty of attention wherever it goes. The body is straight overall, the paint shines well from a distance, and the interior is complete and usable.

As expected for a 50 year old vehicle, it is not a show car. There are cosmetic imperfections, wear consistent with age, and areas that could be improved by the next owner. It is being represented honestly as a driver-quality classic that can be enjoyed immediately while continuing to improve over time.

This Beetle would be a great entry into classic Volkswagen ownership, a weekend cruiser, or a solid foundation for a future restoration.

The next owner should be prepared to address rust and body issues before they get out of hand. While I had plans to complete a full restoration at one point, I ultimately took the opportunity to purchase another Beetle with needs are more aligned with my available time and attention.

Located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
