Cosmetic Restoration with new Ontario Blue Paint and Nice New Cream
Color Interior with Bucket Seats. New Starter and New Brakes This
car is ready to drive and enjoy. Manufactured by the German company
Volkswagen(VW) from 1938 until 2003 then produced again later. The
notion of a people's car - a car affordable and practical enough
for common people to own.[24] Hence the name, which is literally
people's car in German, pronounced ['f?lks?va?gn?] Is a rear-engine
design with a two-door body-style. design. Bela Barenyi is credited
with the original basic design for this car in 1925, notably by
Mercedes-Benz, with his original technical drawing as proof five
years before Porsche claimed to have done the initial version. The
Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single
platform ever made. The Beetle was equipped with the 1600
four-cylinder, air-cooled engine that generated 58 horsepower, as
well as with a dual braking system, four-wheel independent
suspension, and a flow-through ventilation system. Additionally the
Beetle had seat belts for the driver and passengers, two-speed
windshield wipers using a pneumatic washer system, swiveling sun
visors, coat hooks, assist straps, folding rear seats, and luggage
space under the front hood, plus a three-foot carpeted compartment
behind the rear seats. The Beetle's engine, transmission, and
cylinder heads were constructed of light alloy. An engine oil
cooler (located in the engine fan's shroud) creates optimal engine
temperature and extends engine life. Recently new or rebuilt
carburetor, New super coil, full tune-up including points, rotor,
cap, HD plug wires and spark plugs. This car features an automatic
choke. After 1960, steering featured a hydraulic damper that
absorbed steering irregularities. Despite the car's utilitarian
design, the interior featured painted metal surfaces, a metal dash
consolidating instruments in a single, circular binnacle,
adjustable front seats, a fold-down rear seat, optional swing-out
rear windows, front windows with pivoting vent windows, heating via
air-to-air exchange manifolds operating off the engine's heat, and
a windshield washer system that eschewed the complexity and cost of
an additional electric pump and instead received its pressurization
from the car's spare tire (located in the front luggage
compartment) which was accordingly overinflated to accommodate the
washer function. Nice Ontario Blue L95M paint. Good body fit lines
in gaps. Body trim, emblems, door handles, hood latch ( in the back
) and trunk key assembly look great. Interior: Cream color buckets
and rear seat contrast well with fawn/tan vertical rib stitched
door panels w/ black handles window cranks and arm rests.
Aftermarket digital stereo with Wi-Fi, Blue Tooth, etc.. Speakers
in doors and larger speakers in the back compartment. ( Needs a
speaker box, or I would do 2 separate boxes to save space, on the
flip side 1 box is going to create a deeper sound). Dash in great
condition. Hard plastic dash pad & dash. No cracks or Sun damage -
Looks Brand New. "VDO" large combination Speedometer and Gas
Gauges. Modern lighted toggle switches control various functions. 3
speed manual floor shifter transmission. Traditional VW steel
wheels and Hub Caps. Good tread depth on tires. If you love driving
manual transmissions, Bugs are a Blast to drive, the engine is high
revving so you can delay shift. They are excellent in the snow and
sand or dirt roads. While we do our best to provide the highest
