1976 Volkswagen Beetle For Sale
This Missouri based 1976 Standard Beetle is a really slick car.
Very high level build with a blend of Porsche styling and some really nice quality
performance upgrades, this one is as fun to drive as it is to look at.
And what a looker it is!
From the Porsche "Guards Red" paintwork to the black center Porsche alloy wheels
this car really has a great look and stance to it.
Color matched bumpers are an awesome choice...really modernizes the look
No body chrome
Black door handles and one piece door windows
I loke the wheel and tire choice on the car, and the detailed center caps are sweet.
Modern headlights and color matched headlight rings
Disc brakes
Very nice stance
Shaved hood trim and turn signals
Even the hood handle has been shaved for a super smooth look.
Factory sunroof and the one piece door windows
Smooth "Cal Look" rubber, black fender beading and running boards.
Nice smooth reflections down the side. Well done!
Turn signals incorporated into the headlights
LED taillights
Daytime running lights, and very bright headlights for night driving
