Vehicle Description
Sometimes the subtle customizations make all the difference. You
can instantly tell there's something special about this 1971
Volkswagen Super Beetle. The custom touches to the interior and
exterior mean this people's classic makes a very individual
arrival.
This car was restored around five years ago, and they made sure to
do it for both quality and distinction. You see this in the way the
panels align so well and the excellent rubber body gaskets. Bright
chrome bumpers, clean glass, and complete trim are all part of the
great classic look. The paint seems to hold close to Sapphire Blue,
which appears to be an exclusive color to 1971 VWs. This is a
modern application with a deep luster and a nice shine to live up
to its sapphire name. And the precious gem name goes perfectly with
the precious metal accenting provided by the full gold pinstriping
and gold EMPI wheels. The result is an attractively restored Beetle
that respects its history while also always being unique.
The interior was also a nice beneficiary of the restoration budget.
The tan used for the upholstery and side panels have a thoughtfully
coordinating tone with the exterior gold accents. And the coco mats
are a premium and harmonizing touch. There are other
well-integrated upgrades, like the retro-style AM/FM digital tuner
with aux input and upgraded stereo speakers. But also nothing gets
in the way of the classic VW feel - right down to the dual-spoke
steering wheel with Wolfsburg crest at the center.
In the back is an era-correct 1600 cc air-cooled flat-four engine.
VW fans know that means you are in the era of the desirable dual
relief engine case. But this one has much more going on. It shows
the right signs of a quality rebuilt, and the consignor also states
that there recent work, including a valve adjustment, new fuel
filter, and new spark plugs. It's a level of investment that keeps
this a car that fires up and runs with confidence. Plus, with the
control of a four-speed manual transmission, the Super Beetle's
updated front suspension, and that hypnotic air-cooled hum, you
know this one is a great way to enjoy the drive.
This is the restored VW that's made to be a memorable, fun, and
thoughtful classic. So if you're looking for a Bug of distinction,
call today!
