A classic beach cruiser. Let's go surfing.

Details

Never a company that could be accused of standing still, Volkswagen continued to make both minor and major upgrades to its popular Beetle throughout the 1960's. New for 1968 were larger front and rear brakes, an upgraded carburetor, head restraints built into the front seats, a collapsable steering wheel, larger tail lights, an exhaust emission control system and an upgraded independent rear suspension system. The bumpers and hubcaps were also redesigned and for the first time the Beetle came with a plastic dashboard. Power was provided by a 1,500cc engine that produced 53hp. A 4-speed manual transmission and telescopic shock absorbers were also part of the package. Standard features included swiveling sun visors, coat hooks, assist straps, an automatic windshield washer, overhead light, folding rear seats, luggage space under the front hood and in a 3' carpeted compartment behind the rear seats. This 1968 cream colored bug will take you back to the days when love beads and surf boards was all that mattered. Picture yourself driving down the Pacific Coast Highway to your favorite beach with your surf board secured on the handy roof rack. This bug is in good condition with no repairs needed. So grab your boards, pack a lunch and catch the surf in this Groovy Car. Boogy board and vintage luggage are included with this car. Enjoy.
