Vehicle Description
1970 Volkswagen Beetle
The big news for 1970 for the Volkswagen Beetle was a larger
engine, which grew to 1585cc. Horsepower also rose, from 53 to 57
BHP. The engine lid received air-intake slots which had previously
been seen on the convertible version. A four-speed manual gearbox
was standard and hydraulic drum brakes could be found at all four
corners. The turn signals in the front grew larger and were
combined with the side marker lights. In the back, reflectors were
placed on the bumper and tail lamp housings.
Inside, the head restraints became smaller and the glove box
received a lock. The remote-control knobs for the warm air outlets
were removed. Another new feature was a buzzer, which went off when
the door was opened if the key was in the ignition.
Though the engine had grown, the Beetle was still known as a
1500.
Body styles on the Beetle continued to be a 2-door sedan, a sunroof
sedan, and a convertible sedan. Pricing ranged from $1,840 for the
2-door sedan to $2,250 for the convertible.
Offered for sale is a 1970 Beetle with a ground up restoration. No
expense was spared in bringing this Beetle back to its original
state. Painted in its original Robin's Egg Blue with black vinyl
interior, no detail has been overlooked in keeping to original
cosmetic and mechanical specifications. The 1,600cc 4-cylinder
engine and 4-speed transmission have been rebuilt and all panels
are solid and free of rust. The car is nicely finished with Empi
alloy wheels. The trunk and engine bay appear as new.
This VW is as close as can be to purchasing a new Beetle off the
show room floor in 1970.
