1958 Volkswagen Beetle Ragtop

Description

This 1958 Volkswagen Beetle ragtop is an exceptionally restored example where they have taken the time and money to create a unique classic that keeps all the look you love of an earlier bug, and it mixes in style, power, and comfort. You see it on the outside where the silver blue paint fits in with the delicate European colors of the time, but this has the sleek shine and radiant glow of a modern application. The salt flat style wheels and upgraded exhaust also show this one is more than just a well-presented classic. The interior is dominated by the love of the iconic large ragtop sunroof, but also don't forget to notice nice details like the houndstooth seats, retro-style AM/FM stereo, and overall fresh style. And when you look out back, there is a powerhouse that looks cleaner and meaner than most. That's because you're looking at a well-built 1968cc powerhouse.

This is truly a unique cruiser. The 1958 car had larger windows to let in more light, and so that really goes nicely with the big fabric sunroof to basically feel like a convertible. Plus, this one even has a pop-out windshield and rear quarter windows. So you can get a proper breeze moving through the car. So it feels great when you're driving, and that's the real point of this one. The larger motor, modern tires, and four-wheel disc brakes greatly enhance the feeling on the road. The result is a sharp-looking Beetle that you'll love to drive everywhere. So if you're ready to maximize the fun, this VW is here for you.... but it won't wait long. Call today!!!
