The Beetle is perhaps the best-selling car of all-time. Truly, a recognizable shape that has stood the test of time. Adolf Hitler was searching for a people's car that was capable of transporting three children and two adults at speeds of sixty miles-per-hour. The car was to be inexpensive, costing the same as a motorcycle. Ferdinand Porsche was commissioned to produce such a vehicle. There are many theories as to where the designs originated from. Some believe Hitler designed the vehicle. Some theorize that it was Joseph Ganz's 1920 design that was the true inspiration for the Beetle design. Porsche had created designs for the Mercedes-Benz 170H, which played into the design of the Beetle. Inspiration for the Beetle had been drawn from the Tatra vehicles, mainly the T97, that had been designed by Hans Ledwinka. Due to the similarities, Tatra launched a lawsuit which never really materialized due to Germany invading Czechoslovakia. The lawsuit was later re-opened after World War II and Volkswagen was forced to pay Tatra 3,000,000 Deutsche Marks. This left Volkswagen with little money for development of new Beetle models. The Volkswagen Beetle first came on the scene in 1947, but they were known by a different name. KdF, short for Kraft durch Freude meaning 'power by joy', was designated to these small, gas-friendly vehicles. In English, the name Beetle was used. In German, they were known as Kafer, and in French they were called Coccinelle. 1975 models featured Air Flow Control Fuel Injection on U.S., Canadian, and Japanese Beetles, a derivative of the more complex Bosch fuel injection system used in the Volkswagen Type III - and equivalent to Bosch L-jetronic. The fuel-injected engine also received a new muffler and the option of an upstream catalytic converter required on some models (e.g. California), necessitating a bulge in the rear apron sheet metal directly under the rear bumper, and replacing the distinctive dual "pea shooter" pipes with a single offset tailpipe - making fuel-injected models identifiable at a glance. Other changes were rack and pinion steering replacing the traditional worm and roller gearbox on Super Beetles, and larger license plate lamp housing below the engine lid. The car you see here is a 1975 convertible that is a great running little car that retains its four speed manual transmission and fuel injected four cylinder. Outside, the car is in very good condition and shows extremely well. The paint on the car looks very good with only a few minor dings and spots of touch up. The convertible top appears newer with no rips, tears or major staining. Both front and rear bumpers are free of any damage. Inside, the seats are like new and look great. The carpet looks good as well as the door panels and dash. The car has had a newer AM/FM/CD player installed as well as new speakers. The lights, blinkers, wipers and horn all work with no issues. Under the rear bonnet the little four cylinder runs great and starts with no issues. Connected to the four speed manual transmission, the car is a joy to drive. The motor is very clean and appears to be the original for the car. The underside is very solid with no rot to the floor pans that we have seen. The mileage currently shows 8,332 and the VIN number is 1552010740. This is said to be a one family owned car for all of its life.
