Vehicle Description
There's a hierarchy among these love bugs, and this 1960 Volkswagen
Beetle belongs at the top. With desirable early features, great
colors, upgraded engine, and a great presentation inside & out,
this is a showstopper at an affordable price.
Beetle aficionados cherish these earlier years because of the
craftsmanship, including the tiny grilles near the headlights, "W"
decklid, and the overall fit & finish. Plus, '60 was one of few
years to get a classic style and a big back window. But more than
just getting its history correct, you know you love this one just
by its presentation. The slick black and shining silver two-tone
paint take advantage of a modern application. So the glossy finish
highlights all the curves of the VW's wind-cheating design. And
that red pinstripe helps highlight this custom work even further.
Plus, the bumpers, wheel covers, and full trim package have been
given a nice investment so that this whole package has a
10,000-watt smile. And there's nothing cool than the look of
cruising around with the full-length cloth roof tucked all the way
back.
The VW signature spartan interior provides a perfect backdrop for a
very thoughtful package. The exterior silver returns on all the
metal pieces to remind you these cars were paint dipped as a full
package. It's joined by bold red seats and side panels with
distinctive white piping and trim. The whole setup looks strikingly
original, right down to the correct jack in the trunk up front.
You'll love the view from the driver's seat, including the
two-spoke steering wheel with Wolfsburg crest and central VDO
speedometer. But then you might notice a few subtle upgrades. Like
the CD player in the glovebox that allows for more modern tunes in
this vintage ride. Plus, the fireball on the gearstick hints at
something special powering this Bug.
The motor has the shine of investment and performance. That's
because it was installed less than 9,000km ago (about 5,600 miles.)
It's an 1800cc motor - far larger than the original 1200cc unit,
and in fact, larger than anything VW ever originally put in the
people's car. Plus, there's a dual-barrel carburetor and a
performance exhaust to allow this flat-four breathe even better.
The result is an extra kick of power without ever losing that
classic air-cooled charm. You get to make the most out of the
upgrades to the motor thanks to the control of the four-speed
manual transmission. Plus, with upgraded front disc brakes and
modern tires, this one feels quite a bit more confident on the
highway than your average '60's Beetle.
Complete with owner's manual, a classic VW is an easy car to drive,
maintain, and above all, cherish. It only gets better when an early
one with such desirable features is turn-key ready and easily
affordable. A car this distinctive never waits long, so don't miss
out. Call today!!!
