Used Volkswagen Beetle for Sale near Yukon

I own a 1968 beetle... I named her Delilah... It has always been my dream car and having went my whole life never stepping foot in a bug until the day I bought Delilah, I have to say she drives like a dream...The rumble of a vintage engine and the need to actually press the brake to stop, makes my heart race...I love the manual window cranks and the lack of fancy gadgets inside... pure nostalgia...I feel like every time I start her up Im stepping back in time... Also like Im not only a "player" of the punch buggy game I am now "the game" itself and I am spreading buggy love everywhere I drive... so far the gas mileage is great as well... nothing beats a bug!!!

I've owned this car for 10 years - but it was rusting away, and no amount of work was ever going to restore it... so one day I cut the roof off, reinforced the pan, and am working to complete mods to transform it to a roadster. So far all is going well

As everybody knows, the VW Beetle never changed it's body shaped in it's 30 plus years in production; the only thing that changed was internals. Things like updates from 6-volt to 12-volt electrical systems, bigger brakes, and the addition of some safety features. One noticeable outside change was the headlights; after 1966 in the US the Beetle had headlights that were mount horizontally, right in the fender. Prior to 1967, Beetles had what i called 'frog eye' headlights; the actual bulb was inside of a sealed glass casing, which followed the contours of the fenders. My 68 was the exception; research after it was totaled revealed the car was a European model, never meant for US export. This explains why it still had the early style headlights. What it did have was a 12 volt electrical system and the first few safety features VW tried to implement, like a collapsable steering column. The column had a small perforated section that, in a crash, would break and allow th column to crush down, rather than coming back and either spearing the driver in the chest or pinning them to the seat. Also included on this model was something known as a Z-bar, which was an attempt to cure the 'snap oversteer' problem i mentioned in my 66's review. It was an equalizer spring that connected the two swing axles together in an attempt to act as a sway bar. On my 68 though, someone removed it or it was never installed, so snap oversteer was still a problem. Other than that it's was basically the same as the 66 Beetle i have now

This was the 1st year of the "automatic stick shift". The transmission was less than desirable. It was functional, not reliable and expensive to repair. The engine was fine.

The most wonderful perfect vehicle ever created! I love me some Beetles! I put a 1600 in her to replace the 1500 that it originally had; gave a little more power from the right pedal lol. I have been replacing any bad parts with NOS replacements...keeping all of the original parts and the NOS boxes too
