Comments from the seller

1967 Volkswagen Beetle “Gretle” – Fully Restored Bare-Metal Rebuild and Priced for a Quick Sale. Gretle is a beautifully restored 1967 Volkswagen Beetle that has undergone a full bare-metal rebuild completed in 2025, with over 250 photos documenting the restoration from start to finish. This is not an average Beetle restoration. The car was rebuilt with care and attention to detail to create a classic Volkswagen that both looks and drives like a new car while retaining the timeless charm that made these vehicles iconic around the world. This is a very reluctant sale and this is one of three specialty cars I am selling. Finished in striking turquoise with a beautifully presented cream interior, Gretle attracts attention everywhere she goes and has been restored to be enjoyed, shown, and driven. Features include: Fully restored from bare metal Extensive photographic restoration history (250+ photos) Detailed engine bay and front compartment Beautifully retrimmed interior Excellent chrome and brightwork Strong-running air-cooled engine Manual transmission Presents and drives exceptionally well Always cared for and enthusiast owned This car starts easily, drives beautifully, and offers the feel of a freshly restored classic rather than an older vehicle needing ongoing work. Gretle is being offered for sale reluctantly and would suit a collector or enthusiast looking for a standout classic Volkswagen with documented restoration provenance. This would make an ideal promotional vehicle or great addition to a collection and will continue to increase in value. Located on Kangaroo Island, South Australia. I am happy to drive the car to Adelaide for transport or shipping arrangements at the buyer’s expense, and I’m happy to assist interstate or overseas buyers where possible. Serious enquiries only please. km on the clock only.
