Vehicle Description
The appeal of this 1971 Volkswagen Beetle is black & white,
literally. With a great color scheme inside & out, an upgraded
interior, and an affordable price, this is a great way to enjoy one
of the friendliest car communities going.
Owing a convertible Bug is already a great classic car experience.
Volkswagen knew how to produce these bodies with a Teutonic
tightness that was still simple to maintain. It's a level of fit
and finish that makes the Beetle an enduring icon. The color
coordination on this one is a true standout. White is a fun and
timeless, especially in this glossy clearcoat hue. It only gets
better when the black top that matches the running boards, stripe
in the chrome bumpers, and the rubber seals along the trunk and
fender lines. Of course we didn't forget about how the black
minilite-style wheels bring it all together. But this is a drop
top, and you'll be taking the folding top down quite often, that's
why the convertible boot is a matching black with white piping, so
this car looks even better with the roof down.
Since you'll be spending plenty of time opened up to the world, the
interior continues this coordinating theme. It looks exceptionally
fresh thanks to new floor mats and seat covers. You might have
noticed that the comfortable high-back buckets are now covered in a
comfortable cloth, which is an upgrade you'll be thankful for on
every hot day. But that's far from the only interior upgrade on
this Bug. There are some pieces you recognize immediately like the
cool custom sports steering wheel and the machine-turned aluminum
panel that frames the VDO gauge. Other items like the cup holders
in the center console might not get noticed until it's time to take
them for granted.
Under the rear hatch is what's believed to be this Beetle's
original powerplant. The 1600cc motor fires up easily with a
magical buzz that only an air-cooled motor can. These were always
far from the most powerful motors out there, but it's the
engineering that makes the VW legendary. The rear-mounted
four-cylinder helps give the car good traction, and doesn't have
the power loss associated with a large driveshaft running the
length of the car. The four-cylinder is built to be stout and run
all day without overheating thanks to air cooling. Also, you get to
make the most out of this motor with the control of the four-speed
manual transmission. The result is a zippy little car. Plus, as
many VW fans already know, this is a Super Beetle. That means an
improved steering box and a new MacPherson strut front end
suspension. Plus, this one has even been upgraded to front disc
brakes for added stopping power. So for those who want to drive
their classics, this is one of the nicest ways to experience a
vintage VW.
A beautiful black and white convertible beetle like this makes
everybody else green with envy...and that's before you tell them
how affordable it was. Call today!!
