For Sale: 1970 Volkswagen Beetle in Mankato, Minnesota

Vehicle Description

1970 Volkswagen Beetle. This Beetle has a documented history, with just over 40,000 original miles recorded. 1600cc engine paired with a rare "auto stick" transmission-a hybrid between a manual and automatic transmission. This easy to drive gearbox eliminates the need for a clutch pedal and allows the driver to shift between first and second gears manually, with an additional low gear primarily for steep inclines. The car was actively used until the mid to late 1980s, followed by a long storage period. The second owner, who acquired the car in 2018, performed maintenance such as replacing gas lines, carburetor components, brake lines, and the fuel tank. The Beetle features its original red paint with minor touch-ups, vinyl bucket seats, and an original interior. Good condition interior with black bucket seats, door panels and dash. Riding on VW wheels with center caps, and white wall radial tires. Featuring an electric rear glass defogger. Slight brake pull and pulsation are noted, and two tie rods are slightly loose. The fuel gauge and speedometer function correctly. Astonishingly nice original condition, and well cared for. The windshield washer, which functions via air pressure from the spare tire is even intact. This car was ordered without a radio. On the road, the Beetle's nimbleness, comfort, and the ease of driving offered by the auto stick transmission are enjoyable.
