This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 is a classic with a strong following among collectors and enthusiasts, known for its reliability, timeless design, and unique charm. Finished in a striking red color, this Brazilian-made Beetle has been carefully maintained and is in excellent condition, showing just 62,000 miles on the odometer.

The underbody was repaired in Brazil, and while the bodywork remains in its original state, it’s still in remarkable condition and has not been repainted. The 1.3-liter engine runs smoothly, delivering solid performance, while the car is equipped with an adjustable swing rear axle for improved handling.

A standout feature of this Beetle is the Safari windscreen, which opens like the classic T1 bus, adding a distinct flair to the vehicle. The chromed bumpers, hubcaps, and parts, along with Albert-style outside mirrors, create a stylish, artistic appearance that sets it apart from others on the road. The high-quality folding roof, framed with stainless steel, offers easy use and includes a transparent aerodynamic air deflector to protect the driver at higher speeds, ensuring comfort without sacrificing style.

Inside, the well-maintained white interior harmonizes beautifully with the strong red exterior and beige folding roof, giving the car a clean and classic look. The anti-theft protection system (kill switch) has been added as a security measure, reflecting the car’s Brazilian roots. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with a compliant electric hot air blower, as the standard Brazilian configuration does not include the hot air heat exchanger found in German models.

The car underwent a thorough inspection and all necessary repairs were made. The brake system was overhauled with new cylinders, hoses, and shoes, and the gasoline tank was cleaned. The engine and transmission were also checked to ensure optimal performance. The car is now equipped with four brand-new summer tires, ready for the road.

This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 offers a perfect blend of classic styling, vintage appeal, and modern updates, making it an ideal choice for any enthusiast looking to add a reliable and distinctive piece of automotive history to their collection.
