by A classic Volkswagen Beetle from 1974, which may interest collectors of vintage cars, has been listed for sale on AUTO.RIA in Kyiv. The asking price for the coupe is $25,000, or approximately UAH 1.12 million. According to the seller, the car was purchased about 15 years ago with a mileage of 30,000 km, after which it underwent a complete restoration using exclusively new original Volkswagen parts.
After the restoration was completed, the car was practically not driven. The listing states that it has covered only about 100 km since the restoration and has been in storage the entire time.

The listed example is equipped with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder air-cooled boxer petrol engine that develops about 50 hp. The power unit works in conjunction with a 4-speed manual transmission and drives the rear wheels.
The first-generation Volkswagen Beetle (Typ 1) has a rear-engine layout, independent suspension, and a simple design, thanks to which the model gained a reputation as one of the most mass-produced and reliable cars of the 20th century.
The listing also notes that the car’s odometer still displays the 30,000 km mileage recorded before the restoration. After the complete overhaul, the Beetle has been barely used, making this example one of the most well-preserved classic Volkswagens currently offered on the Ukrainian market.
