Vehicle Description
The first model year of Volkswagen's Super Beetle line, this 1971
Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible displays a striking two-tone
black and maroon color scheme that gives it distinctive character.
The manual black vinyl convertible top with glass rear window adds
versatility to this classic German machine, allowing for open-air
enjoyment or closed-cabin comfort as weather dictates. Chrome
wheels complement the dual-color paint job while the convertible
boot provides a clean look when the top is down. This iconic bug's
timeless profile is accented by front and rear chrome bumpers and
trim pieces that define its unmistakable Volkswagen silhouette,
riding on 165R15 tires with plenty of tread.
The black vinyl interior offers a straightforward cockpit
experience with bucket seats and floor-mounted shifter. Red carpet
throughout adds a custom touch that elevates the cabin's appearance
beyond factory specifications. Original-style door panels maintain
the period-correct aesthetic while the dash houses basic
instrumentation and controls. For entertainment, this Super Beetle
features an 8-track AM/FM radio by Realistic - a perfect period
addition that adds authenticity to the driving atmosphere. The
simple yet functional layout exemplifies Volkswagen's focus on
uncluttered design that maximizes the compact interior space.
Mechanically, this Super Beetle relies on Volkswagen's proven
1600cc flat-four engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission
for a genuine air-cooled driving experience. The independent
suspension system front and rear delivers handling characteristics
that were quite advanced for the era. Drum brakes at all four
corners provide stopping power while the dual-to-single-to-dual
exhaust system produces the unmistakable sound that Volkswagen
enthusiasts love. The transaxle rear setup combines transmission
and differential into one unit - a hallmark of Volkswagen's
engineering philosophy that balances weight distribution for
improved stability.
