Vehicle Description
There is a reason the Volkswagen Beetle is beloved by people the
world over. It is one of the top-five best-selling cars of
all-time, and it checks all the boxes: dependability, reliability,
affordability, simplicity, and downright cuteness! This one-owner
1970 1302 S Beetle is a perfect example of one that has been loved
and cared-for through generations of the same family. Fully
documented with original in invoice, owners manual, service
notations, etc. Original spare tire (removed for photographs to
show solid metal compartment). All chrome trim and accessories
added by the dealer at purchase.
Featuring rear-wheel drive from the naturally aspirated,
rear-mounted 1.6-liter (1568cc) four-cylinder engine, it won't win
many drag races, but it will get you to where you want to go! With
an estimated factory-rated 50 horsepower, a four-speed manual
transmission, and a top speed of 81mph, the Beetle was many
parents' choice for a reliable car for teenagers coming of age.
This particular low-mileage Beetle comes with many maintenance
records showing the owner was meticulous about his prized
possession. A driver-quality repaint performed sometime in the past
with a few rock chips thrown in over the years means it can be
driven and enjoyed until another repaint is needed. A new front
bumper was recently added, as were four new BF Goodrich tires. A
few chrome dress-ups (dealer-added at purchase) adorn the car and
show nicely.
Inside, the Beetle is minimalistic but in terrific shape. Roll-up
windows with vinyl door cards are in great condition. The dash and
steering wheel show no signs of cracking, and all gauges work as
they should. A brand-new rearview mirror and vinyl seat covers
greet the occupants. There is a wicker tray and glove compartment
to hold your valuables. The headliner, while not torn open, does
have a scar where something dragged across it.
All-in-all, this 1970 VW Beetle is a survivor that shows in
excellent condition given its age. It is ready to be enjoyed by a
new owner who will deliver the same love and care the previous
owner gave to make it last this long. If you are looking for a
great example of '70s freedom, let Art & Speed put you in the
driver's seat of this VW.
