Vehicle Description
With a bright and attractive color combination, it's easy to fall
in love with the VW Beetle all over again. This 1971 Volkswagen
Super Beetle convertible is in exactly the right condition to enjoy
- fully sorted so you can jump in and go whenever the urge grabs
you. Plus it has the interesting AutoStick clutchless shift for
those who thought they could never own a Beetle before.
In addition to the Beetle's already sunny disposition, the sunshine
yellow finish adds a bright attitude that makes you want to jump in
and find a beach. This is a true eye-catching package that uses the
folding roof's black color as the inspiration for the wheels and
the retro rocker stripe. The total package is a classy and uniform
appearance that you don't see everyday. The other classic VW
details are all complete, including the chrome bumpers, running
boards, and thin dual exhaust pipes.
Inside, the high-back bucket seats that came on the later models
are particularly comfortable for all-day cruising. This Beetle
might look like it's a stick shift, but if you count the pedals,
you don't have to be intimidated. VW's optional AutoStick does all
the clutch work, and so all you do is row the gears with zero
worries about stalling. Another nice feature is a newer AM/FM/CD
stereo, because after all, who wants to hit the road without their
tunes (especially in a car that just screams 'summertime fun' like
this one.) And for an extra sporty touch, there is a new
three-spoke steering wheel. But even with all these upgrades, the
interior of this VW continues to carry that simple and sturdy
feeling that comes from decades of building these cars
correctly.
Under the rear hatch is what's believed to be this Beetle's
original powerplant. It has been treated to the right maintenance
over the years, which means you will be hearing that iconic ticking
from VW's 1600cc flat-four for many years to come. As many VW fans
already know, this is a Super Beetle. That means an improved
steering box, bigger brakes, and a new MacPherson strut front end
suspension. Combine this with the grip of modern Kumho tires, and
this is one of the nicest ways to experience a vintage VW.
Complete with a full file on its maintenance and the owner's
manual, this is the Beetle the looks great on the outside, has been
kept top-notch in the engine bay, and has a desirable AutoStick to
welcome any driver. So all Beetles are friendly, but rarely do you
find one as welcoming as this. Call today!!
