Vehicle Description
Zoom Classic Cars is proud to present this 1970 Volkswagen Beetle
for sale. The 1970 Volkswagen Beetle, often fondly referred to as
the "Bug," is an iconic and beloved compact car that has left an
indelible mark on automotive history. With its distinctive rounded
shape, economical nature, and enduring popularity, the Beetle holds
a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts and casual drivers
alike. This is a recent rebuild with all work performed by LVW
Volkswagen in Fayetteville, NC. The vehicle has a brand-new engine
made by Scat with less than 500 miles on it. The car features
electronic ignition, dual carburetors, and a five-quart oil
capacity. The new motor directs its power through a new four-speed
manual transmission, and shoots exhaust out a new stainless steel
exhaust system. The vehicle is equipped with new disc brakes, new
heater boxes, and four new tires. The front spindles have been
replaced and the front end lowered. The interior features custom
front seats with red stitching, a new radio with USB port, two new
speakers, and a new tachometer. The interior floorboard covering
was removed, and completely replaced with sound proofing material
as well as new carpeting. The forward trunk area also features new
carpet. The back seat was recovered with new original-looking
vinyl. The vehicle is painted Doghouse Red and any exterior chrome
that could be replaced was including bumpers, wheel covers, and the
trunk vent lids. The vehicle does feature a sunroof that the
current owner has not opened. The rubber gasket shows some wear and
did not want to take the chance of tearing it. A few other minor
flaws are that the gas gauge needle is not always accurate because
the float sticks, the horn needs to be wired, and the fan buttons
on the dash do not work. The front windows work but are a little
stiff to operate. The vehicle shows no signs or evidence of rust
and contains the original sheet metal. The Doghouse Red paint job
still shows very well after ten years. The seller has a clear title
for this vehicle and is looking to make a sale. This Beetle starts,
runs, and drives as it should. The simple yet ergonomic dashboard,
uncluttered controls, and modest creature comforts reflect the
no-nonsense approach that has endeared the Beetle to generations of
owners. The Beetle's engineering emphasizes simplicity and
durability, with a robust chassis, independent suspension, and
tight turning circle contributing to its nimble and easy-to-drive
nature. Its light and direct steering, coupled with a comfortable
ride quality, make the Beetle an ideal companion for city commuting
and leisurely drives. With so much of that has been updated or
replaced, this is very much like a new car, with a long life ahead
of it! Please call Tom F. for more information (269)-317-3955.
