by Unique long-nosed Volkswagen Beetle listed for sale
Volkswagen Beetle is one of the most popular cars in history, but this particular specimen stands out even among other modified versions. Based on a 1973 Super Beetle, it underwent radical changes: an elongated hood, a shortened cabin, and an extended wheelbase.
This project was created by a craftsman who studied in Germany and later moved to the USA. He transformed an ordinary Beetle into something reminiscent of classic Bentley or Bugatti coupes. However, unlike those cars, the engine here stayed in its original place—at the rear—while the front space is now used as a trunk.
Technical features and condition of the car
The engine is a 1.6-liter flat-four, likely producing around 50 hp. The mileage is approximately 60,000 miles, which is a decent figure for a 52-year-old car. The body shows minor signs of corrosion, but overall, the vehicle’s condition is rated as satisfactory.
The seller claims the car runs without issues and has recently received new tires and window seals.
The current starting bid at the auction is $1,000. Whether a collector will appreciate this unusual modification remains unknown. However, this Beetle undoubtedly stands out for its exclusivity and history.
Projects like this remind us how creative car enthusiasts can be. Even with iconic models, there will always be those who want to create something unique. This long-nosed Beetle isn’t just a car—it’s a true art object with its own story to tell.
