- Exterior & Interior Features: Outfitted with 235/75 R15 rear tires and 185/65 R15 fronts, a roll bar, and classic Class 5–style trim, this Beetle blends vintage style with proven off-road modifications. The stripped interior underscores its utilitarian desert-bug identity.
- Ownership & Title: Showing 77,000 miles on the chassis and about 15,000 miles on the rebuilt motor, this Beetle has spent its entire life in Baja Sur, Mexico. Dry, salt-free conditions have preserved its body and components, and the car is offered with clear documentation and ready for import.
