the sixties, the 1969 Volkswagen Beetle type 1500. This Volkswagen
Beetle has resided with the same loving family for 33 years since
it was purchased new from Pat Strong Motors, Helena, Montana on
December 14th, 1968 with only 9 miles. The car has recently had a
full restoration performed The Beetle is the longest-running and
most-manufactured car of a single design platform anywhere in the
world with over 21 million cars produced between 1938 and 2003. The
'1500' model was launched in 1966 and provided the biggest one-time
jump in power output by a whopping 25% to 50bhp. With tighter
gearing and having been tuned for higher rpm. quick acceleration of
the '1300' was also more than a match for the competition. VW
utilized a double jointed rear axle from 1969 which all but
eliminated the problem making the '1300' a truly well balanced and
highly capable machine. �These characteristics have made the '1500'
one of the most nostalgic and desired classic Beetle generations.
Finished in a Colbalt Blue, this Beetle shows well with only very
minor imperfections visible upon close inspection. The headlights
and tail lights are in excellent condition and perform their
intended function. All the trim is present and complete (sporting a
period correct "black-out" treatment). The side mirrors are
Vitoloni which are highly desirable and in very good shape. The
polished aluminum Centerline 15-inch wheels present well and add to
the period look of the Bug. Inside, the Corbeau "GT" black cloth
front seats have an excellent support and are very comfortable. The
rear seats are original black "Leatherette" vinyl. The grey carpet
is used tastefully to tie together the entire roomy interior floor
with matching black door panels. The painted blue with black vinyl
covered dashboard is a continuation of the exterior of the car and
look fantastic. All the original equipment gauges are in place and
