Convertible Volkswagen Beetle 1970
This 1970 VW Bug Convertible has undergone a complete body-off restoration, blending classic charm with modern upgrades. Originally manufactured in Germany (10/1969), this rust- and accident-free Beetle spent the vast majority of its life on the West Coast. With 98% of its components replaced with new parts and the remainder restored to OEM or better, this build is both a tribute to vintage style and a showcase of thoughtful performance enhancements.
