1971 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic for sale
Current customer rating: (104 votes ) based onI have done most of this restoration myself and therefore can answer most questions anyone might have. The total mileage is unknown but I would estimate it at 70K. The odometer reads since engine overhaul. The car drives great and was the first year of the super beetle and McPherson struts which improved the handling. Almost every component has been replaced. overhauled or repaired with the exception of the transmission which works perfectly.
I had decided not to disassemble the transmission if not needed. Detail was given to all items such as the fresh air system which is seldom still installed and almost always not operational. I restored the car with originality to the era in which it was built in mind. A good example of this is the red embroidery and piping accents on the seats. Notice the original air filter housing on the engine and painted to match.
This car would have been the nicest VW at my High School and I would have been proud to own it then as I am proud of it now. The reason I am selling it is I have not room for it in my garage with all my other cars and will not keep it outside. I choose not to store it away from the house and would rather someone else enjoy it.
If you ever desired to own an original VW Bug this might be a good opportunity and a much less expensive way to do it. The parts alone would be more than the by it now price!
