A 53-year-old perfectly preserved Volkswagen Beetle will be sold at the auction

The mileage of the car is only 167 kilometers. The Super Beetle series model is presented in the limited version of Baja Champion. The manufacturer released the limited batch of Zhukov in 1970 in honor of victories in off -road races. Now, during trading for the “time capsule”, only 28 thousand dollars are offered (about 2.2 million rubles at the current rate).

The main difference between the Super Beetle line was the new anterior suspension configuration, which received MacPherson racks and transverse levers. In addition, the hatchbacks first equipped a 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 50 horsepower, which replaced the 44-horsepower. The unit was complemented by four -speed “mechanics”.

The limit publication Beetle Baja Champion was released in 1972 in honor of the Volkswagen series of victories in off -road races. Cars received a new Marathon Blue body color, Baja inscriptions on white stripes on sides and chrome details of the exterior. In addition, special emblems appeared in the car.

The presented copy is distinguished by 15-inch wheels, drum brakes, trimming with leatherette, as well as a two-speed fan. Until 1996, the California dealer center owned the car, after which the car replenished the assembly of a private collector. For almost half a century, the Beetle was part of the museum exposition, due to which it was preserved in perfect condition.

In 2023, the old Volkswagen Beetle, turned into a wooden hut, was sold in Italy. For a homemade house on wheels, they were going to help out to 30 thousand dollars.
