1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle

Description

A cool color combo, nice recent investments, and a strong running nature all mean this 1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle is an ideal timeless classic that's easy to enjoy.

This is a great year to own a Beetle. 1971 was when production peaked and it was the introduction of the Super Beetle. So this one has that little extra bit of significance. But more than just history, there is an appeal here of a clean and complete example finished in a glossy tan. The shape is an icon of the open road, and the added wood-slat luggage rack certainly drives home that point even further. There's even just a hint of extra color coordination as the black wheels match the black running boards and body gaskets. And the bright wheel covers go with the bumpers, headlight trim, and dual exhaust tips.

While the exterior is tan with black accents, the color theme flips for the interior. It's a clean and complete setup that gives you all the right features. This includes the high-back bucket seats, single VDO gauge, and a grippy steering wheel with Wolfsburg crest in the center that are all part of the classic VW experience. This also has some nice extra features, like the color-matched dash, AM/FM/cassette stereo, a dash fan, and pop-out rear windows.

Volkswagen's flat-four motor is a world-renowned hardy powerplant. The 1600cc unit here has given the right proper care to remain a strong runner. It fires up nicely with that unmistakable air-cooled hum, and the four-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly to give you the ideal classic Bug experience. And don't forget the Super Beetle features a better steering box and an upgraded front suspension. Plus, we have a receipt from April 2022 documenting about $4k invested in keeping this a solid running motor as well as upgrades like four new cruising tires and front disc brakes.

This is the Super Beetle with investments in added distinction and driver sharpness. Call today!!!
