Vehicle Description
Take some time to look over one of the coolest bugs around. This
1970 Volkswagen Beetle has interesting features - like a sunroof
and AutoStick transmission - wrapped around a distinctive color
combo. But even a standout like this is still everyday
affordable.
We all love the Beetle because these are classic cars with a sturdy
German-engineered base. It provides for a strong foundation to
build an individual spirit. This one seems to go for a premium
stock appearance in a nicely rendered shade of Pastel White. In
fact, the cream-colored paint has been laid by a professional hand
to give it the quality of a crisp button-down shirt. But even the
finest dressed people have room for jewelry with the mirror-like
chrome bumpers, full-length trim, bright dual exhaust tips. And the
details are great, too, like the factory stock wheel covers that
have the VW logo colored in with the matching off-white.
Inside, the high-back bucket seats that came on the later models
are particularly comfortable for all-day cruising. The bold red
cloth on these nicely coordinates with the door panels to really
stand out every time someone peeks inside. And when they do,
they'll also spot plenty of cool factory features. You have the
original-style dual spoke steering wheel with Wolfsburg crest,
correct VDO gauge, and even a period-correct AM radio. Plus, this
Beetle might look like it's a stick shift, but if you count the
pedals, you don't have to be intimidated. VW's optional AutoStick
does all the clutch work, and so all you do is row the gears with
zero worries about stalling. And because this is such a great
cruiser, you even get a great hand-cranked sunroof to let the
sunshine in for those Sunday drives.
Under the rear hatch is what's believed to be this Beetle's
original powerplant. It has been treated to the right maintenance
over the years, which means you will be hearing that iconic ticking
from VW's 1600cc flat-four for many years to come. Volkswagens
sometimes were off-putting to people who didn't know how to drive
manual shifts. So their solution was adapting the Autostick
transmission that has a vacuum-operated clutch. There's no third
pedal, but you still get the control of rowing through the three
forward gears to get the most out of the VW's hardy motor. And
since the 1600cc was the largest VW displacement from the series,
it feels a bit nippy in the lightweight coupe. The experience
behind the wheel is all smiles, and you'll get plenty of nostalgic
looks as you cruise around in this sunroof bug.
Complete with owner's manual and maintenance records, this is a
great looking VW with the features that will always attract
attention. So when you want an easy, affordable, and standout
classic, this Beetle is the one. Call today!
