Volkswagen Beetle (1958-1979)

This replica of a Volkswagen Kübelwagen military vehicle was constructed under previous ownership some time ago and features custom bodywork mounted to a 1974 Super Beetle pan. It is finished in tan over gray fabric upholstery and is powered by a 1,600cc flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional features include a front spotlight, a gray canvas soft top, fold-down windshield, and body-color 15” steel wheels. This Kübelwagen replica is being offered by the selling dealer in Los Angeles, California with a clean Alaska title, listing the vehicle as a 1974 Volkswagen. The vehicle features custom Kübelwagen-style metal bodywork and is finished in tan with German military markings on the driver’s door, rear tailgate, and front fenders. Additional exterior features include a folding windshield, a gray canvas soft top, front spotlight, twin side-view mirrors, and front and rear tow hooks. Various scratches can be seen in the gallery below. Body-color 15” steel wheels are mounted with 205/75 Firestone Winterforce tires. Braking is through drums at all four corners. The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed gray fabric. Features include a central machine gun turret, slatted-wood-lined floors, and shoulder belts for front occupants. A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a body-color metal dash housing a central 90-mph VDO speedometer with an inset fuel level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 91k miles, though total mileage is unknown. The replacement air-cooled 1,600cc flat-four was reportedly sourced from a 1970 Beetle and sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. The seller notes that the carburetor has been recently tuned and the battery replaced. The vehicle features a pan sourced from a 1974 Super Beetle. Areas of corrosion are visible on the underside, and additional photos are provided in the gallery below.
