Classic 1970 Volkswagen Beetle. Great Running Engine + Nice Wheels + No Reserve! on 2040-cars

THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner AT NO RESERVE [or hit the buy it now before first bid is placed] is this rare collectible classic 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Bug!
Finished in white over black, this 44 year-old VW sports a great running rebuilt engine, nice shifting 4 speed manual transmission, original radio, really nice 15" chromed wheels with meaty Michelin tires [I am told they are Porsche 356 or 912 wheels]. The working five-digit odometer shows 100,118 miles. The actual mileage of this car is unknown. It is being sold with clean California title in hand along with current registration. It is smog-exempt here in California due to the year! This is a great find for less than the cost of the sales tax alone on a new quickly-depreciating Beetle!

PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this Beetle is in decent but not great condition overall...a presentable "twenty footer". The white paint shows MANY nicks, scrapes, scuffs and touched up areas. The trim is all intact. I have "Volkswagen" emblem for new owner to install. The 15" chromed wheels are in nice shiny condition with meaty Michelin rubber

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this classic Beetle is in fair condition overall. The odometer works as does the blinkers and lights. The radio is inop and not sure about the heater. The carpet has been removed exposing bare floor with sign of corrosion splitting on the driver side floor. The door panels are nice, the dash has some cracking on the top, the headliner is sagging and the passenger seat could use reupholstering. Both the front seats have broken recliners. The rear seat upholstery is nice as is under the front trunk.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Beetle starts right up and runs VERY well with peppey acceleration from the recently rebuilt and leak-free engine. The transmission up and downshifts smoothly, the braking is straight and true with good pedal feel and the suspension is fairly solid with good tracking and good steering feel! This is actually a fun little around town car!
