The appeal of this 1971 Volkswagen Beetle is black andamp; whiteand#44; literally. With a great color scheme inside andamp; outand#44; an upgraded interiorand#44; and an affordable priceand#44; this is a great way to enjoy one of the friendliest car communities going. Owing a convertible Bug is already a great classic car experience. Volkswagen knew how to produce these bodies with a Teutonic tightness that was still simple to maintain. Its a level of fit and finish that makes the Beetle an enduring icon. The color coordination on this one is a true standout. White is a fun and timelessand#44; especially in this glossy clearcoat hue. It only gets better when the black top that matches the running boardsand#44; stripe in the chrome bumpersand#44; and the rubber seals along the trunk and fender lines. Of course we didnt forget about how the black minilite-style wheels bring it all together. But this is a drop topand#44; and youll be taking the folding top down quite oftenand#44; thats why the convertible boot is a matching black with white pipingand#44; so this car looks even better with the roof down. Since youll be spending plenty of time opened up to the worldand#44; the interior continues this coordinating theme. It looks exceptionally fresh thanks to new floor mats and seat covers. You might have noticed that the comfortable high-back buckets are now covered in a comfortable clothand#44; which is an upgrade youll be thankful for on every hot day. But thats far from the only interior upgrade on this Bug. There are some pieces you recognize immediately like the cool custom sports steering wheel and the machine-turned aluminum panel that frames the VDO gauge. Other items like the cup holders in the center console might not get noticed until its time to take them for granted. Under the rear hatch is whats believed to be this Beetles original powerplant. The 1600cc motor fires up easily with a magical buzz that only an air-cooled motor can. These were always far from the most powerful motors out thereand#44; but its the engineering that makes the VW legendary. The rear-mounted four-cylinder helps give the car good tractionand#44; and doesnt have the power loss associated with a large driveshaft running the length of the car. The four-cylinder is built to be stout and run all day without overheating thanks to air cooling. Alsoand#44; you get to make the most out of this motor with the control of the four-speed manual transmission. The result is a zippy little car. Plusand#44; as many VW fans already knowand#44; this is a Super Beetle. That means an improved steering box and a new MacPherson strut front end suspension. Plusand#44; this one has even been upgraded to front disc brakes for added stopping power. So for those who want to drive their classicsand#44; this is one of the nicest ways to experience a vintage VW. A beautiful black and white convertible beetle like this makes everybody else green with envy...and thats before you tell them how affordable it was. Call today!! |
