1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle - Convertible Back in the 30s only 1 person out of 50 in Germany owned a vehicle. They really couldn't afford anything more elaborate than a motorcycle. Well to rectify that, in 1937, the German Labour Group introduced the iconic Volkswagen or in German..."The Peoples Car." These cars proved to be very popular, so much so that they are still being made today. Although their models have expanded to other names like the Golf, Passat, etc the Beetle is one of the most widely recognized cars throughout history. There are entire clubs dedicated to preserving their history and even children can point them out while playing "Slug Bug" or "Punch Buggy." To commemorate passing the Ford Model T's records sales Volkswagen introduced their first limited edition car known as the Super Beetle. This 1971 Volkswagen is one of those Super Beetles and is a really neat car. The current owner has owned the car for 6 years and the owner prior to that had it for 10. Both are in Texas and prior to that it was in California. It gets a ton of attention with its slick Pink paint paired with a Black convertible top. The cloth top is in great shape, has a glass rear window and it does come with a matching boot. It wears its stock chrome bumpers, chrome side trim, chrome fender guards, chrome mirrors, chrome headlight buckets and chrome turn signals. The glass throughout is all in good shape with no issues. The car rides on the Empi 8 spoke wheels with with custom chrome spinner caps. In the back of the car sits the 1.6 liter, air cooled, flat four motor that runs well. It is paired with a 4 speed transmission that moves through the gears smoothly. In addition to a slightly lengthened body and frame these Super Beetles were fitted with an improved MacPherson strut front suspension. This car cruises down the road nicely and these are always super fun cars to drive. It currently shows 48,069 miles and under current ownership right around 1,000 miles were put on it. It had a new battery installed in January 2023 and it got all new brakes in June 2023. All work that has been done on the car were completed professionally by "The Bug Stop" who work specifically on Volkswagens. The interior features Black upholstery with front bucket seats and a rear bench. It has the factory style center console with shifter and an added cupholder basket. A nice upgrade is the more modern retractable shoulder seat belts for added safety but it does also come with the originals. The dash all looks good and has an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player. The glove box door has been painted to match the exterior and looks great. Under the front bonnet it is all nicely carpeted in Black and you will find an amp for the stereo. This cool Super Beetle runs great and always turns heads. It is being offered up at a very reasonable price for someone looking for a nice solid classic. This bug could be yours for $17,500.00!
