This is a 1971 Beetle Classic 1600cc dual port engine with a 4 speed manual transmission. The car runs and drives great, buzzes down the highway at 65mph with ease. My wife takes it all over the place on the weekends, even grocery shopping on occasion. I have recently done quite a bit of work to the car. This work includes all new brake shoe with wheel cylinders all 4 corners, new brake master cylinder, rebuilt carburetor, new muffler, plugs, wires, points, valve covers and rebuilt generator. I have also adjusted the valves, fixed the typical VW electrical ground gremlins and cleaned out the heat riser tube in the intake manifold. The clutch was replaced about 5000 miles ago. This is a good driver car, just put gas in and drive. The engine does not smoke just leaks a little oil at the drain plug. The exterior of the car is in good condition and shows well when at the local cruises. It is not perfect but it looks good especially in this color. The only negatives to the car is there is a small amount of rust at each of the four floor pan corners. The rust is small amounts which one of the pictures show. The rest of the pan is completely solid, as is the fenders, body panels, doors etc. also the driver's side seat is a bit worn as are most if they are original like this one all of which I have provided pictures of. This a great little car that you can just take home and drive. We are selling it because my wife was a convertible and we have two other classic/custom cars already in the garage and just don't have room to keep this one.
