For Sale: 1995 Volkswagen Beetle in Bennington, Vermont for sale in Bennington, VT
Vehicle Description The seller reports importation of this Tornado Red 1995 Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle and several others from Brazil, where the car is known as the Fusca.
Perhaps best considered a restomod, this Brazilian Beetle has been fitted with Recaro seats, replica Fuchs road wheels, and numerous other custom touches.
VW's Brazilian assembly operation dates to 1953, with parts shipped in from Germany.
Some 10 years later, the Brazilian plant was producing all but four of the car's minor parts in country.
The first round of Brazilian Type 1 production ran until 1986.
Production restarted in 1993 and ran until 1996.
Exported to Argentina, Uruguay, and Peru, the model also served as a taxi in Brazil.
For it to do so, Volkswagen do Brasil lobbied the Brazilian government for a dispensation to allow the Fusca to serve in that capacity, despite its diminutive size.
