Seller's description

This is a one owner 1972 VW Standard Beetle. It won't win you any beauty contests but mechanically wise she is a nice driving bug. Always serviced regularly at the former Young's Ol Volks Home. She is a reliable car that needs a good home. You can driver her as is or take her to the next level. Personally I like the way she is as. ZERO rust on the body. If you are wanting to get into the vintage Bug scene this is a great start!<br>

Suspiciously low miles for the age.
Verify against the title's odometer history (Carfax). Rollback is rare but devastating.
i
Car is 10+ years old — budget for age-related maintenance.
Expect to replace within 2 years: tires, battery, hoses, possibly timing belt, water pump, suspension bushings.
