The 1972 Volkswagen 411 2-Door Wagon is a rare and distinctive example of VW's venture into more upscale, larger family cars during the early 1970s. Designed with both utility and style in mind, this vehicle features a practical two-door wagon body style, offering a blend of functionality and vintage charm. Finished in a rich blue exterior color, the car stands out with its bold and clean lines, rounded rear, and signature front-end styling that marked a departure from the more familiar Beetle design. The 411's wagon configuration also provides ample cargo space, making it both a collector's item and a usable classic.
Under the rear hatch lies a 1679cc air-cooled four-cylinder engine, characteristic of Volkswagen's engineering during the era. Paired with an automatic transmission, the car provides a smooth and accessible driving experience, ideal for cruising and daily driving alike. The 411 was the first VW passenger car to be equipped with fuel injection and independent rear suspension, giving it a more refined and comfortable ride than many of its contemporaries. Though performance was modest, the car was appreciated for its solid build and reliability.
Inside, the white interior offers a bright, airy contrast to the blue exterior, adding a touch of retro elegance. The cabin features a minimalist but functional dashboard, with classic VW gauges and switchgear that add to the period-correct vibe. This particular example includes an upgraded stereo system, providing modern audio quality without compromising the vintage aesthetic. The clean interior reflects the low mileage and overall care the vehicle has received over the years.
With only 32,587 miles shown, this 411 appears to have been lightly driven and well-preserved. Such low mileage on a vintage Volkswagen is rare, suggesting a life of careful ownership and possibly long-term storage. The inclusion of the original owner's manuals adds to the car?s authenticity and collector value, giving prospective buyers or enthusiasts a deeper connection to the vehicle's history. It?s a prime candidate for vintage car shows or weekend getaways.
Overall, this 1972 VW 411 2-Door Wagon represents a unique slice of Volkswagen history, bridging the gap between the classic Beetle and the more modern designs that followed. Its combination of utility, classic style, and low mileage make it a standout choice for vintage VW collectors and fans of 1970s automotive design. Whether displayed in a collection or enjoyed on the open road, it?s a car that blends nostalgia with practicality in a truly distinctive package.

For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos and descriptions, a “no surprise” approach, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
