PRISTINE 1972 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE CONVERTIBLE FRESH ENGINE OVERHAUL

A pristine 1972 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible featuring a freshly overhauled 1600cc 4-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. This Beetle is an absolute cream puff. The engine was just recently overhauled. More information will soon be available! If you have any questions, give us a call!

Below is a responsive photo gallery. If you are on the eBay app, just touch an image to see it. If you are on a desktop, you can move your mouse over the images to make them bigger, or just click on them!

The exterior on this VW Beetle is undoubtedly one of it's most distinct features. The paint is a fairly recent respray showing minimal signs of wear and zero rock chips. Upon further inspection, one would see that the body is incredibly straight and has had very little bodywork done. This is complimented by chrome bumpers that shine brightly, recently replaced headlights, marker lights, and tailights. The convertible top seems almost new. The VW original style Hubcaps shine brightly, showing very little wear throughout. The steel wheels are wrapped in a set of Ironman RB-12 NWS with the gold ring.

The interior of this Beetle is in incredible shape, featuring the original style Vinyl Knitted tall bucket seats. They show no minimal signs of wear, and no cracks or tears anywhere throughout the interior. There is one small hairline crack in the center of the dash, but nothing that takes away from the overall value of the vehicle. The Speedo and gauges have all been inspected and work flawlessly.

Driving this VW Beetle Convertible is timeless. Effortless shifts from gear to gear, powered by a freshly overhauled engine make for a stunning town-cruiser. The convertible top easily moves up and down with little to no resistance. Be ready for frequent waves everywhere you go!

Cheers

I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original, rare and high quality modified vintage and modern cars. Over the past 15 years I’ve been in business, I have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles as well. I specialize in and I am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners.
I have an experienced eye for quality and I’ve discovered that my preferred buyers can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the buyer, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business.

With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may be at a first glance. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner. First we do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and hope nothing escapes our methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about Collector's Dream Cars. Moreover, it allows us to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless we think it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction so you don’t get a headache over the vehicle.

After the vehicle is fully checked over and made whole at any level it needs to be, we researches its history, documents, documenting originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications, and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 200 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they meticulously clean. Reconditioning can sometimes take several days as we do all that we can within reason to get our vehicles in tip top condition visually and cosmetically. We do Way more than just a cheap detail. Our details are more like refurbishing to as close to new as we can possibly get our vehicles.

Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch gauges operation as well.

No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase that my vehicle is for real and what I say is an honest assessment. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it.

If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-544-0235. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer is serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually make an offer, I will happily quote you a liberal suggested retail price – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.”​​​​​​​
