1971 Super Beetle


Sam Mebane


This car is heavily featured in our JBugs Restoration Video Series with 94 videos covering it's rebuild but we wanted to share a few still images of how it all came together.

You would barely recognize Sam's car versus when we first started this restoration. It had mismatched green and gold paint with a crusty interior. However, when the opportunity presented itself for Sam to make a video series for Super Beetles and he found a suitable candidate and took up the job. The result is the beautiful Laguna Seca Blue, Euro or "German" Look Super Beetle you see above. Nearly $35K worth of new parts and $25K in paint and body work went into this restoration and the end results show it.

Currently this car resides in Sam's garage, being taken for a spin on weekends occasionally while it awaits a new home. The car is for sale so Sam can get to work on the next project, so if you're interested in owning this stunning 1971 VW Super Beetle, feel free to reach out to him via his email, sam@jbugs.com !
