1974 VW Super Beetle "Swiss Postal Car" For Sale



Here is something pretty unique!
This 1974 Super Beetle is located in Southern California. It is a one family car since new
and has just under 100k miles on it. It is a yellow car originally, and it was resprayed at some point
in yellow again, but with fenders in black.


In Switzerland, the Post Office used yellow Beetles with black fenders as delivery cars.



There are toys and models out there done like this.


The PTT logo on the door


Something that is a real conversation piece for sure...especially here in the US!


So...with this history in mind, the car had been dressed up just a bit to bring out that look.
The PTT logos on the doors are magnets that are easily removed
and the Swiss license plates come on and off easily as well.


What is fun about it is that it really stands out in the crowd...at a VW show or just on the road
it is fun and bright and unique.
The body is quite solid on this car rust wise...there is some weakness under the battery as is common, but the rest looks great.


The paint on the car has a few chips and scratches here and there but has stood up well overall.
The car runs and drives well. It does have just a hint of the normal "Super Beetle Shimmy" in the front end
but just a hint of it...probably time to check the steering dampener and ball joints, etc.
The tires are looking a bit old too which might have something to do with that...they have plenty of tread but some sidewall aging.


The car has a clean California title and the California plate is tucked right under the Swiss one.
The little black trim pops right off the edge of the plate to allow for easy removal.


A couple stone chips in the paint up front, but just a couple.


Nice and clean under the front hood...carpet kit, owners and service manual...even the original jack.


The totally stock 1600cc dual port engine runs well...fires up first click and has plenty of power.
New fuel pump installed as well as fuel lines.
Mileage on the engine is unknown, but she sounds good.


New seat upholstery front and back. Original carpets are in amazing shape..always covered by mats.
Dash pad has some cracks...but that is not a difficult thing to remedy.
Headliner is in decent shape...a little age discoloration but holding up well.


Here you can see the cracks in the dash pad a little clearer.


Original door panels are in decent shape...door jams are clean and rust free.


A very fun little car at an absolute mindblowing bargain of a price.

Asking just
$2,950 !
