Vehicle Description
With its factory-correct color combo, numbers-matching motor, and
very stock style, this 1969 Volkswagen beetle is a cool cruising
classic with plenty of vintage appeal.
We are told the consignor is the third owner of this car, and
that's always impressive on a classic that's crossed the
half-century mark. The body lines show good care, and there was
even a respray of the factory-correct Savanna Beige. This keeps a
very stock style with the clean/classic decklid, bright bumpers,
bright wheel covers, and well-fitting full-length trim. It all
makes for a pleasant-looking driver-quality classic. And "driver"
is the optimal word here because a good Beetle makes for the right
kind of classic you can hop in on a whim and enjoy on the road.
The brown interior is correct for the car. We don't often see this
color, and it's a tasteful style, especially against the exterior
beige. It looks like there were the right updates here with newer
carpet and clean upholstery. This has the right vintage style
everywhere from the button-top presentation of the high-bac bucket
seats to the Wolfsburg crest in the center of the steering wheel.
But as a driver's car, there are also the right additions. There
are little things that make a nice difference, like cup holders and
side window overhangs. Plus, the AM/FM/CD stereo means upgraded
driving music.
The warranty voucher in the owner's manual indicates that this has
the numbers-matching motor. That's a true rarity in VW circles, and
it adds to this classic's distinction. Of course, the other reason
why you'll love the motor is that the 1500cc flat-four has one of
the best reputations for robustness around. This one shows the
right signs of good maintenance - including newer pieces like the
distributor - and an overall clean appearance. And the way this one
fires up and runs so eagerly reaffirms its quality care. The
air-cooled hum of the motor and the control of the four-speed make
for a fun driving package. And there are nice extras like the grip
of modern Cooper tires.
The sale comes complete with service manuals and the important
owner's manual. This is a distinct classic Bug with all the classic
features you love. Call today!!!
