1974 Volkswagen Beetle
History
The Volkswagen Beetle, also known as the "Bug" is a two-door,
five-passenger, rear-engine economy car that was manufactured and
marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until
2003.
In the 1999 Car of the Century competition, to determine the
world's most influential car in the 20th century, the VW Beetle
came fourth, after the Ford Model T, the Mini, and the Citro�n
DS.
Why This Car Is Special
The Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a
single platform ever made. The one we have for sale at Skyway
Classics is fully restored. From top to bottom. If you want a
like-new VW, this one is for you.
Mechanical
Our 1974 VW has been completely gone thru and everything replaced
or restored. The 1300 cc dual-port air-cooled flat-four is claimed
to be the original motor, and is mated to a 4-speed manual
transaxle. This vehicle runs and drives like new and is sure to
bring a smile to your face!
It has all new wiring, a rebuilt engine and trans, new brakes. This
car is incredibly solid and the VW runs and drives great. The
engine sits in a very clean and detailed engine compartment with
all the correct factory parts and looks like it did just as it
drove out of the dealership back in 1974. The only change here is a
sport exhaust system which makes this Beetle sound more like a
Porsche than a VW.
It rides on color matched VW wheels and performance tires and has a
great sound coming out of the chrome dual exhaust tips.
Interior
The new custom silver two tone leatherette Bucket Seat interior is
extra clean and has power tinted windows, AM/FM/CD player, alarm
system with anti-theft protection, AM/FM/CD Radio w/ipod Hookup,
modern shifter and carbon fiber modern steering wheel.
Exterior
Our Silver Metallic VW looks great with good body lines, great
chrome and trim, and a professional repaint that makes it really
stand out. Get this beauty in the sun and the metal flake lights
up.
As an extra nod toward safety, the 1974 Volkswagen Beetle had
bumpers that were bolted to energy-absorbing mounts, and an
ignition interlock prevented the engine from being started unless
the seatbelts were fastened. The seat belt safety feature has been
removed and replaced with a modern security system with a hidden
anti-theft feature. The factory VIN plate is in place and can be
seen in the photo gallery.
Conclusion
It is not often you can find a 1974 Volkswagen that has been
restored as nice and as thorough as the Silver Metallic beauty we
have here at Skyway Classics for sale, and a great price too. Come
see it today. Over $25,000 was spent on the restoration, so the
asking price is a fantastic deal! If you are a classic car fan and
have never owned a Beetle, you owe it to your self to get behind
the wheel of this one. They are great cars that are a blast to
drive, get thumbs up and admiration everywhere they go, and won't
break the bank at the gas pump.
