Motors is pleased to present the cleanest and most original Beetle
on the market. This 1970 Volkswagen was delivered new to Tom
Gleason Volkswagen of Flint,Michigan. �It is a true time-capsule,
collector Beetle, only traveling 7,577 miles since it was purchased
on August 18th 1970! �Everything you see is original to the car,
and we even have the original window sticker. We know that over the
years there were millions of Beetles made, but to find an all
original, extremely low mileage Beetle that is in showroom
condition is super rare. Our client has owned the vehicle since
1992 and it has been a staple of his collection. This car was
extremely well cared for, and it's apparent that it was always kept
in a climate controlled environment. �Throughout the car the rubber
trim and plastic pieces are excellent condition. There is no heavy
musty smell inside the car (it actually smells new still) and the
paint shows extremely well. We should also mention that because of
the low mileage and amazing condition that the car is in, we wanted
to verify its originality. So, we hired John Hansen of Michigan
Automotive Inspection Services to substantiate that the car is
everything we claim it is. Mr. Hansen did just that - everything is
there like its supposed to me.�As we expected, the conclusion is
that the mileage is correct, the drivetrain is numbers matching,
and the car is all original. In addition to the original window
sticker, we have the original owner's manual, maintenance record
book, VW distributor and dealer book, diagnosis coupons, '70 Beetle
brochure, and the original selling dealer license plate frame. The
exterior is finished in the Royal Red paint applied by the factory.
That's right, no repaint here, and the paint is in excellent
condition! While looking at the car, you may notice a few added
parts and pieces on the exterior. This car has a number of dealer
added accessories - chrome tail light trim, mudflaps, rear bumper
reflectors, chrome trim on vents below back window, chrome door
handle and bonnet handle trim, chrome front and rear fender trim,
and chrome window trim. �Other than the dealer added parts it's a
clean, solid, standard Bug. Other standard equipment that this car
came with that is worth highlighting are, steering wheel lock, rear
electric window defroster, heater, and a day/night rearview mirror.
Inside, the standard bucket seats still wear the optional black
Leatherette trim, and appear brand new. They pretty much are. Our
enthusiast eyes see no issues with the interior - it is just the
way it looked when it rolled off the dealer lot in 1970. �Simply
put, this thing is mint, all interior surfaces are in awesome
condition from top to bottom! Mounted in an extremely clean engine
compartment, the engine is a numbers matching, standard 1600cc/1.6L
motor. The displacement is up from the 1500cc engine offered in the
1969 Beetles. Volkswagen updated the Beetle's 4 speed manual
transmission slightly for the 1970 model year. �The '70 Beetles
benefited from diaphragm clutch springs which require less pressure
on the clutch pedal, and new 3rd and 4th gears with finer teeth for
reduced noise. This car is a turn-key car, �not just for rolling
around with no running engine. Should you decide to drive this Bug,
turn the key and the engine fires as it should, and all gears are
easy to engage. The underside of the car is as clean and original
as the rest of the car. ��� We would love to see this amazingly
original Beetle go to a ne
