The King: 1967 Volkswagen Beetle Type 1

Richard Petty starting driving NASCAR a few weeks after his 21st birthday, way back in 1958 and before they called him "the King" he was known as the "Squirrel".  Petty is most famous for driving full sized Plymouth and Dodge muscle machines, but that didn't stop this next fan from building a CRAZY VW Beetle tribute car. Find this 1967 Volkswagen Beetle Type 1 offered for $7,500 in SF Bay Area, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Hugh.

Transvairy Cool: 1971 Meyers Manx SR

Bruce Meyers wasn't the first guy to build a Volkswagen based dune buggy, but he put his name on enough examples that he became the face for low volume VW kit cars in the 1970s.  The original Manx dune buggy was developed for jumping over dunes, but in 1970 Meyers introduced the Manx SR, a sports buggy for the road.  Find this 1971 Meyers Manx SR offered for $1800 in El Cajon, CA via craigslist.

5k: DT's Own 1966 Volkswagen Beetle

From Dec. 7, 2013: It is with a heavy heart, but a pragmatic frame of mind that this editor (CFlo) writes a DT feature for his own first car. This was the car I drove to high school, the car I awkwardly picked up girls in for first (and last) dates, the car I did my first burnout in, and the very vehicle that taught me about lift-throttle oversteer. From this car I learned basic mechanical skills and it's partially to blame for me becoming a full-fledged gearhead and my decision to pursue a career in mechanical engineering which I am still enjoying to this day - in addition to moonlighting for DT! This 1966 Beetle has been called many things, not the least of which was "Buster" as named by my younger brother. But after 14 years, now it's time for someone else to call it their own. Find my 1966 Volkswagen Beetle for sale right here on Daily Turismo, located in or around Torrance, CA for $5500

Update Dec. 20, 2013: I've lowered my asking price to $4650.

Update Jan. 20, 2013: Lowered price again to $4200. Willing to negotiate; this car needs a new home!

The car is no longer for sale; editor CFlo has decided to keep the Beetle and recommission it as his daily driver.

5k: Redneck 911 Turbo: 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle with 513 hp Turbo Acura V6

There is something about the Volkswagen Beetle that brings out the Mr. Hyde in normally mild mannered people. Perhaps it is purgatory-slow speeds and clack-ity-rackity noise from the stock Beetle engine that drives its owners mad and convinces them to transform the egg shaped coupes into wheel-standing coffins.  Whatever the reason, we can't think of one not to buy this 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle with 513 horsepower turbocharged Acura V6 available in Reno, NV for $6,500.
